Andrew Keen, luddite troll author, and now -- spammer.

Kevin Kelly shares with us a piece of spam he's received from Andrew Keen, the Web 1.0 dot-bomber who recently reincarnated as professional troll and spokesdouche for internet-fearing reactionaries everywhere. Mr. Kelly explains:

Here is not the first unsolicited advert I have gotten from him. The denouncer of All That Is Evil With The Internet is himself guilty of the worst scourge in modern times.

Below, a screengrab of part of the loathsome spam (Link to larger size). See also Kevin's epic trouncing of the sender on Jewcy: Link. Listen to Annalee Newitz whup his ass in a similarly unfair battle of wits (hint: only one of the two participants has any): Link, segment is in the 8am hour.
