If you can't beat 'em, embrace 'em with the Spamghetto wallpaper. Don't know what I'm referring to? I'm referring to those detestable spammers. Oh yes, the telemarketers of the web. Spam is the bane of our online life--well, viruses as well, but they have no place in this post.
Designed by So To Do, the Spamghetto wallpaper features intricate, Victorianesque patterns that contain thousands of spam emails. Yet, there is more to this wall decor than simply admitting defeat.
So To Do holds, according to Fast Company, that Spamghetto wallpaper "catalog[s] human desire" through porn, Viagara and free software spam, which if ended would mean the loss of the "bittersweet pleasure of spam."
