Man page for Christmas

Is Santa a sysadmin? You be the judge...

Jingle Bell...AOL
Tune: Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells, AOL's sent another disc
How I wish they'd stop it but they really will insist
Don't they know I've always thrown them straight into the bin
Guess they don't 'cause they don't stop, much to my chagrin

They're everywhere you turn, even grocery stores
I never could discern who they're aiming for
Shotgun marketing, saturation style
Once they sign you up they've got you captive for awhile

Jingle Bells, AOL's got you in their grip
Internet with training wheels, hardly worth the trip
Jingle Bell, AOL, you can't hope to impress
With those telltale letters in your email address
