"the idea of using search engines for Burroughsian cut-up material is hairy." Amen, brother. [Link] 'The initial aesthetics of Flarf went largely unarticulated, but they can probably be approximated by the following recipe: deliberate shapelessness of content, form, spelling, and thought in general, with liberal borrowing from internet chat-room drivel and spam scripts, often with the intention of achieving a studied blend of the offensive, the sentimental, and the infantile.' jon posted this at 8:31 AM |

Even car insurance is not worth mentioning? :)
By the way the described poetry may be very funny sometimes. But I'm sure it's a temporary condition.
