"Young Asian Sluts!" named to Spam Hall of Fame
Hall lauds impact on later spam and "nearly unreachable" .0017% click-through rate

HOBOKEN, New Jersey (AGB) The Spam Hall of Fame has inducted a new class into its storied halls, and this year's sole inductee is "Young Asian Sluts!"  The Hall of Fame, located in a Sun Solaris server in Hoboken, New Jersey, has been inducting spam since 1997. Currently, the Spam Hall houses over 25 of the greatest examples of spam from the past five years including "Microsoft Testing New Email Product," "Earn Money While Sitting at Home," and "Hot Anal Action."

"Young Asian Sluts!" first appeared as spam in late 1998, promising loads of young Asian ladies who were ready for action. The text of the first incarnation of the spam implored the addressee to click the enclosed link to view never-before-seen shots of young Asian girls who were willing to satisfy every desire of the discriminating porn enthusiast lucky enough to be on the mailing list.

At the height of itís popularity, "Young Asian Sluts!" had a click-through rate of almost .0017%, a number almost unreachable by today's standards. "Sure, for every one person who got some pleasure out of outrageous shots of hot young Asian sluts in compromising positions, 60,000 people were shocked, annoyed or offended," stated Jim Delaney, author of the original spam. "But the pleasure of that one guy, even if it only last 3 to 7 minutes was worth all that annoyance."

Delaney attributed much of the success of the spam to itís politically correct use of the word Asian in lieu of Oriental, as well as the sexually ambiguous title. "Are these hot young male Asian sluts or hot young female Asian sluts?" Delaney asks, rhetorically. "You'll never know if you don't click! And then its too late!"

The success of "Young Asian Sluts!" has been directly cited for the later success of spam entitled "Teen Asian Lesbians!", "Barely Legal Thai Chicks Who Love It!" and "Me So Hot Young and Horny!"

"'Young Asian Sluts!' was really a ground breaker," stated "Teen Asian Lesbians!" author Wayne DeBlasio. "Without it, we probably would have just used 'Teenage Lesbians' or 'Asian Lesbians,' or 'Teenage Asians,' but never all three. Thank you Mr. Delaney!"

Delaney has since tried to replicate his success with other spam, but has yet to reach the lofty heights of "Young Asian Sluts!" "If I ever write another Hall of Fame spam as good as 'Young Asian Sluts!', you'll be the first to know," Delaney warns. "It'll be right there in your inbox!" This author, for one, can't wait!
