A couple of things:

1)
Ah, those zany "Mel-Gibson's the Real Pope" Australian Christians! This is the opening paragraph from a CNN story today:

"In da Bginnin God cre8d da heavens & da earth," according to a new version of the Bible translated into the text message language of cell phone users.

The entire Bible has been transled such -- 30,000 text messages required to stuff the entire bible down someone's throat by cell phone.


2)
Further on what I do for a living. Here is a perfect example of (quite frankly, beautiful) SPIN, as it is making the rounds as SPAM:

The Jones family was proud of their heritage. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower. Their line had included senators, pastors, and Wall Street wizards.

They decided to compile a family history as a legacy for the children. They hired a fine writer. Only one problem arose: how to handle that great uncle who was executed in the electric chair. But the writer said not to worry, he could handle that section of history tactfully.

When the book appeared, the family turned to the section on Uncle Walter. There, they read: "Walter Jones occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution, and was attached to his position by the strongest of ties. His death came as a real shock."

well, there's something useful about the first example, but not sure about the usefulness of the second one. you know, there doesn't seem that much difference between spam and spin and what you do for a living. re-re-processed stinky meat-like concoction!
