Lost in (Google) Translation

I've always loved spam bots. Today, our dear @Horse_ebooks, the assumed spam bot, announced that it is indeed not a spam bot, but a real person and that the "spam" on Twitter was performance art, and that it will likely be retired because the performance is over...

For those of you who don't know, Horse_ebooks was a fantastic, mind-numbing, gibberish-laden false spam bot that always posted hilarious, nonsensical posts on the interwebs. It was even made into a comic you can find here: http://horseecomics.tumblr.com and has a ton of fans on Twitter, Reddit and Facebook.

I always assumed Horse_ebooks was a real person who just happened to like gibberish as much as me. It reminded me of a project I started where I would write a fake article using bits of sentences from actual published articles, translate them into any language using Google translate over and over again, going through as many languages as I could stand before finishing by converting it back into English. The end product, as you might expect, is mostly gibberish, but reminds me so much of those poorly translated spam bots you see posting everywhere. I would go to various social media websites and other blogs I was a part of an post them. Most people thought my account had been hacked. I always pretended to be none-the-wiser... Great fun indeed.

I figured I'd postpone my other posts to honor the recently exposed and probably terminated Horse_ebooks. I decided to do the traditional spam post, talking about, of course, what else but, Abercrombie and Fitch (and hating it), as well as other random tidbits, even including pictures chosen at random on Google images using phrases taken from the false-spam. Again, fun.

If you like these, you should try the experiment with poetry. It's pretty hilarious. I did Coleridge's Kubla Khan below, as an example.

In a dream or vision. fragment

Xanadu of Kublai Khan
Stately pleasure dome decree:
ALPHA, the sacred river,
Through the cave houses
Without the sun, the sea.
So twice five miles of fertile land
The walls and towers surrounded by round:
And there is a garden with winding groove lighting,
Many trees bearing fragrant flowers;
Here the old wooded hills,
Sunspots surrounding vegetation.

But, oh! It is a deep romantic chasm tilt
Over the green hills Sidarn cover!
Wild places! Santo and delighted
Under the moon distressed Elgin
A woman cries demon - lover!
This gap is even boiling turbulence
Fast thick pants if this breathing earth
Powerful source of forced time:
Faced with the rapid explosion of media flash
Huge fragments vaulted like hail, recovery
Mixer or the next great scourge pot:
And 'mid these dancing rocks at once and ever
It was once a sacred river.
Five miles meandering MAZY
Through wood and sacred river valley
Then caverns measureless,
Fury drowned in a lifeless ocean:
And 'this means tumult Kubla heard from far
Ancestral voices prophecy war!

At the top of the shade fun
Midway floated on the waves;
When they heard mixed
From the fountain and the caves.
This miracle of rare cells,
Sunny pleasure dome of the ice cave!
dulcimer Girl
In the vision I saw him once;
This Abyssinian maid,
In his dulcimer playing,
Abortion Singing Mountain.
You can get my
Her symphony and song,
To the profound joy old "beat me,
This music is loud and long,
I'm in the air, the building, the dome
It is a dome from the sun! These caves of ice!
And all who heard should see them there
I have to mourn, beware! Attention!
His eyes, his floating hair!
Weave a circle around it three times,
Close your eyes, afraid of the test
For him, honey - dew Hey,
Drink milk paradise."
