Testimonials

But don’t take our word for it. Read what our graduates have to say about Spam U.


Teddy King
B.S. ’02


"I was working down at the Quickie Mart for about 12 years or so, and then I got fired for something I didn’t even do ($100 missing from the till). It was the only career I ever knowed, so I didn’t know what to do. My old lady told me to check out Spam U and get me some education."

"Studying all that book-learning crap wasn’t easy (and I ain’t exactly no Alvin Einstein), but now I’m making a whole lot more money than the stupid Quickie Mart makes on a good day (usually Fridays are good days, depending on the payday schedule and the lottery)."

"And you know what? You don’t even have to sell no product. Just send out a few million emails and act like you’re actually selling something cool (like Viagra). Pretty soon, the money starts rolling in like friggin’ magic. She it."


Arnie Jones
B.S. ’01


"If it weren’t for Spam U, I’d probably be in jail. No, I definitely would be a jail. I was planning to rob a bank. I bought my ski mask. but no gun (Doh)!. But then I saw a flyer for Spam U laying on the ground. I picked it up and had it read to me. It changed my life. It really did, I mean it. Seriously. I realized that I didn’t have to resort to a life of crime. I could earn lots of money and not even break the law."

"So I took all of the classes, and now here I am — a spammer. And I’m doing damn good at it. I even wear a tie when I send out my spam just because it makes me feel more professional."


Debbie Dell
B.S. ’03


"I used to be a model for a stock photography agency. My photo has appeared in thousands of ads throughout the world. For a while, I was even a celebrity. It was a good life, but now I’ve found a better life. I’m a spammer."

"Spamming is much easier. I get to wear whatever I want (no more of that stupid hat that covers my forehead!) and I no longer have to take directions from photo assistants. Oh yeah, and the money’s a lot better too."


Jim & Melinda Parker
B.S, M.S. ’02


"We’re known by some as the Cowboy Spammers. Melinda and me actually met at Spam U. We was both taking the Body Part Enlargement class, and we just sort of hit it off. We got hitched right after graduation day, and now we have a successful career sending out spam. It really ain’t that hard, and I’ll tell you what – it’s lucrative as all get out. We hardly know what to do with all this money. Sure beats working on septic tanks. Yippee!"

"What Jim said." – Melinda


John Walkenbach
Ph.D. ’03


"Unlike most of the students in my class, I had some morals and ethics when I entered the University. But they evaporated after about two days, thanks to the amazing professors I encountered. I learned that spamming is a way of life. It’s the wave of the future, and it’s the solution to most of life’s problems. I display my Spam U diploma with pride."

"Forget about blogs. Forget about spreadsheets. And forget about Microsoft (unless Bill is serious about his new "Spam Machine"). Spamming is the best thing that ever happened to the Internet."


Anonymous
M.S. ’01


"I’m a well-known spammer, but I can’t tell you who I am. I’ve received some death threats, and I fear for my life and my Lexus. But I ain’t gonna stop spammin’. No siree."

"I done found me the world’s best job and I’m making lots of money. You wouldn’t even believe how much. So go ahead and kill my wife and dog if you want, just don’t kill me (or harm my Lexus). I’m making way too much money to die so young."


James R. Cox
B.S, ’99


"You’re never too old to start a new career. I was a successful trademark attorney, but when I turned 74, the Alzheimer’s was starting to affect me real bad. So I enrolled at Spam U. It took me seven years (plus one semester) to graduate, but it was worth it. Now I’m making good money as a spammer, even though I can’t remember a goddamn thing anymore."

"Did I tell you that you’re never too old to start a new career?"


Jim Kloss
M.S, ’03


"OK, OK… So I was a big shot for a day. Then, one trip to Vegas, and I’m a nobody again. I had to go back to my old job — running a worthless music webcast in friggin’ Alaska, for god sake. I didn’t earn any money. None. Nada. Hell, it cost me money."

"I was a stupid moron — dumber than the dumbest, stupidest, most uneducated retard. Esther finally had the guts to tell me to get my life together. So I wised up, moved to Mississippi, and went to school. I learned a few things that have nothing to do with PHP programming. And I learned a lot about life (I was so wrong about so many things)."

"Now I’m a successful spammer, and I have more money than I’ll ever need. Hell, I might start on that Alaska theme park idea. Oh yeah, and we’re talking plenty of chicks, too. And they even bring me free beer. Rat-a-tat-tat. Shake my friggin’ hat."


Jeroen Dutchman
Ph.D.,’02


"I traveled all the way from The Netherlands to attend Spam U. I was away from my wife and kids for seven years, and I had to live in Mississippi (no dikes, no tulips, no wooden shoes!). But it was worth it. I am now the top Dutch spammer, and I am rich beyond my wildest expectations. I have mucho Euro in my burrow. But best of all, I’m proud of myself and my honorable occupation."

"Mag ik jou bier lenen?"


Bucky Sparks
B.S.’01


"Yep, after I had my ear surgery I went back to school. I graddiated and now I’m a successful business-type man. Ma said it would never happen, but she be wrong bout that. The best thing I learned in them classes is that no matter how stupid you is, there’s always gonna be more people who are even more stupider than you are. And that’s a fact."


Maude Popper
B.S. ’02


"After my Claude died, I didn’t know what to do with my life. I was lonely. Empty. I missed him so much."

"One of the gals at the beauty parlor (a redhead) told me about Spam U. I decided to go back to school and learn myself a trade. Now I’m a professional spammer and I have a lot of money. I don’t even miss Claude no more."

Special Events

Spam University periodically sponsors special events for our students and faculty. Here’s a summary of the events planned for this academic year.

The Famous Spammers Roundtable

The Famous Spammers Roundtable is one of our most exciting events. Leading spammers from across the world gather for a lively discussion of issues that affect the spamming industry.

Legendary spammer Alan Ralsky will be on campus
and take part in a Spammers Roundtable.

The participants in this event are not your common everyday spammers. These are the cream of the crop, and each one of the participants is listed on the prestigious ROKSO List at Spamhaus!

Here’s a partial list of well-known spammers who have agreed to participate this year:

  • Alan Ralsky

  • Bernard Balan

  • Bubba Catts

  • Husein Gandhi

  • Laura Betterly

Everyone is invited to this event, which will be held during the Fall semester (the exact data and time to be announced).

Admission: $60.
Large cookies will be served ($2.75 each)

Partnering With Microsoft

The biggest event on campus this year will be a special appearance by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

Bill "Bill" Gates will demonstrate Microsoft’s upcoming "Spam Machine." This amazing device consists of special hardware and software that will make spamming easier than ever. And that means more money in your pocket, and more students enrolled at Spam U.

"The Spam Machine is capable of churning out more than 1 million spam emails per hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And best of all, these messages are 100% untraceable," said Gates.

Gates will also provide the details regarding the exciting new "Spam Partnering" program that will revolutionize the spam industry.
Admission: $200.
Medium cookies will be served ($2.49 each)

Coping With Rejection

We’re pleased to announce that the world’s most prestigious psychologist, Dr. Joyce Brothers, will deliver a speech to the student body during the Winter semester.

Topic: Copying With Rejection.

  • Being a spammer can be depressing. For example, it’s not uncommon to find that 99.985% of your potential clientele hates your friggin’ guts. Dr. Brothers will explore ways to deal with the depression and cope with potential rejection.

Here’s an example (no charge) of the type of advice you’ll receive:

"No matter how much pressure you feel at work, if you could find ways to relax for at least five minutes every hour,  you’d be more productive." – Dr. Joyce Brothers, Famous Psychologist

(Note: Laughter not allowed during the speech.)

Admission: $100.
Small cookies will be served ($1.95 each)

Spam U Summer Concert Series

This year’s outdoor concert series will be the best ever. We’ve finally managed to book Jody Carver and Johnny Cucci, fresh from their "Hot Club of America" tour. The highlight of the show will be their rendition of "We Spam and We Don’t Give a Damn."

Join them for an evening toe-tapping and finger-snapping music you won’t forget.

(Note: Red jackets are required)

Admission: $30 and $60.
Miniature cookies will be served ($.75 each)

Graduation Day

The highlight of the academic year, of course, is graduation day.

Our hard-working students put down their books. They enter the working world and begin their spamming careers. It’s a time of joy, and a time of new beginnings. And the world becomes a better place to live.

 Here’s a lovely graduation day poem, written by one of our recent grads.

I learned some writing
I learned some grammar
From this day forward
I’m a full-blown spammer

The photo below was taken at last year’s graduation ceremony. This year’s even promises to be even bigger and better.

Admission: $50
Bring your own cookies.

Privacy Policy

We at Spam University respect your privacy. Yeah, right. We respect it about as far as we can throw it.

We collect as much personal information as we possibly can. We use cookies, brownies, Twinkies, infrared sensing and hidden cameras. Whatever it takes to find out about you and your pathetic Web surfing habits. Oh yeah, and several different spyware programs have been installed on your system.

By viewing this page, you agree that we can do whatever we damn well please with your personal information. Sell it. Give it away. Trade it for cheap beer. Auction it on eBay. Give it to our "partners." Whatever. You also agree that we can kill you, if the need arises, and sell your body parts on the black market. And we can use your car anytime we want.

This privacy policy may change at any moment, so you should probably check back about once per hour.

This is a legally-binding agreement. If you don’t like it, hire an attorney (starting rates = $175 per hour). Ha-ha.

It’s a joke, of course…
