Or, Please Help the Tsar Buy Back his Summer Palace from the Americans.
I’ve been tossing around this idea for a while, with a couple of friends. We’ve been trying to come up with weird, not-immediately-obvious temporarily dislocated spam. Things like,
"Other issues have been distracting us from the most important- our boys are out there fighting for our lives and liberty. We, the citizenry, owe them our support. Please contribute to our noble cause, and keep the boys in grey going. Long live the Confederacy!"
Or
"Unless you comply with the following list of demands, your country will be invaded and conquered withing a week. The Mighty Genghis suffers no one to insult his power and sovereignity…
It would be fun to follow up with a notice suggesting that the country has been conquered, and all the people are required to adopt Mongol dialect and dress.
Or
“Good pay, benefits, and health care! The striking London Rag and Bone Picker’s Union demands better working conditions, higher pay, and at least one rat to eat per week!”
Note: we are not under any circumstances thinking about spamming anyone. This is a a fun thought experiment.
Also up for grabs: Alexander the Great’s invasions, fighting off any kind of barbarians, scurrilous gossip about Cleopatra, and probably thousands of other options that haven’t occurred to us yet. Contributions?
