Today on
Boing Boing tv we reprise our ongoing SPAMasterpiece Theater series featuring author, PC, and minor television personality
John Hodgman. His new book,
MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE was released just a couple of weeks ago.
Hodgman himself describes this series as the dramatization of "true tale[s] of romance, adventure, infamy, and low-cost prescription drugs, all culled from the reams of actual, unsolicited emails, received here by us and people like you -- what we call SPAM."
Today's installment: V1V4 M3X1CO., in which we explore supply chain management solicitations with the help of luchadores, mariachis, beautiful black-n-white señoritas from the silver screen of our abuelitos, and GIANT NARCO-KITTEHS WITH UZIS.
A note from our musical director: The adaptation of Jean-Joseph Mouret's "Rondeau: Fanfare" (1735) which opens today's episode was remixed in flagrante 8-bit by Hamhocks Buttermilk Johnson.
Also: a special and hearty thanks to the talented and generous Ehrich Blackhound (previously boinged here) for creating our new, typographically-correct opening slates for this parody series.

BBtv is launching a series of episodes featuring author, PC, and minor television personality
John Hodgman, as the world waits breathlessly for the launch of his new book,
MORE INFORMATION THAN YOU REQUIRE . We have read it, dear viewer, and it is splendid.
Today, the debut installment of Boing Boing tv's SPAMASTERPIECE THEATER, which Hodgman himself describes as the dramatization of "true tale[s] of romance, adventure, infamy, and low-cost prescription drugs, all culled from the reams of actual, unsolicited emails, received here by us and people like you -- what we call SPAM."
We'll be releasing more of these in the coming weeks. Each one is composed exclusively of actual, unadulterated, unsolicited email. Like virtual raw foodists, we would not think of cooking perfect fruit that falls so gracefully from the internet's tree of life.
We hope you enjoy. { fade to black, fade in Hodgman in the library chair, surrounded by spam ephemera}
