May 13 2009Spam Emails: Now With More Illustration
This is a picture from artist Elliot Burford's series of work entitled 'Spam', which features illustrations created using the titles of spam email, most of which are for wiener growing pills. I posted a bunch more of my favorites after the jump, but there are 24 in total (so far), so take a gander if you like them. I was particularly fond of this one, for obvious reasons -- I like the smell of gasoline. Kidding, BURN IT WITH FIRE!
Hit the jump for more.

Thanks to Ben, who has to take penis shrinking pills.

Sorry #2. You're cool.

While a fun idea, not original at all. A guy did this years ago over at http://www.spamusement.com/
6. Rachel - May 13, 2009 9:24 AM
These are good, but spamusement.com used to make me laugh so hard. These are both unoriginal and less funny. Fail.
7. $.02 and a pocket full of FAH-Q - May 13, 2009 9:25 AM

"old!" who cares? I'm pretty sure someone else has made XBox shoes before. I 'm pretty sure someone has stripped while dressing like Chun-Li. I'm pretty sure someone has given themselves a full face transplant.

The giant one made me laugh. The rest were iffy.
12. Whitney - May 13, 2009 10:10 AM
Yea he totally ripped off that idea and Spamusement is much funnier imo.
13. STOMPY - May 13, 2009 10:17 AM
Fak, my damn cubicle tempurature is 80.2 (26.8 for non-americans or 300 kelvin for the nerds...) i'm gonna start wearing hawaii shirts to work since its so damn tropical...
14. Oh yeaaaah - May 13, 2009 10:32 AM
I'm actually really glad that you dudes posted the Spamusement link, because it's ten times funnier than this guy's crap.
15. Hannukah Montana - May 13, 2009 10:34 AM
Eeew!
16. Joshua - May 13, 2009 10:57 AM
Yeah, Spamusement is way better and more original
17. This Is Me Posting - May 13, 2009 10:57 AM
Like Big Bear mentioned, I liked this the first time around when it was called Spamusement.

Also commenting to push Spamusement toward it's victory in the comment thread wars.

The things people come up with after smoking some weed
22. Daisy - May 13, 2009 12:27 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake becauise the shadow's are all worng.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max got a job in a restaurant with crap all over the walls, and the other guys who worked there kept showing him their junk and calling him a homo.
23. Darth - May 13, 2009 1:17 PM
If the artist likes to get some more 'spam' inspiration.Then he must leave his emailadress.
24. A Gay - May 13, 2009 1:44 PM
"Big Pilot For Your Dick Plane" is the best spam email I've gotten

29. gaysex - May 13, 2009 8:50 PM
I love how the second to last one explains the joke. Very B^Uesque.
30. Jaded Icon - May 14, 2009 9:01 AM

35. Nikky - May 24, 2009 8:40 PM
Is it just me or is there a white magnet or backward C in the 3rd one (remote)
36. Kevin - May 25, 2009 5:54 PM
I see that white backward C too. probably had something else written, or drawn and just blocked it out with a completely white swatch, where the paper color is a little off white.
