The only thing good that ever came from SPAM is the Monty Python song.

LOL This is as good as Spike Lee suing against TNN becoming Spike TV...because it could damage his reputation and prestige. Of what prestige he speaks I am not sure, I just know he needs to crawl back under the rock from which he came

If they are so idiotic to think that everythime the word SPAM is used we automatically think of the Hormel product, they need help. I have no problem confusing shit food and shit email thanks

This reminds me of "phat" and "def" being trademarked, or copyrighted, by Russel Simmons. I think I saw him on Conan Obrien one night & he said that if anyone uses the word "phat" they need his permission & to pay him a huge fee... Seeing as how http://www.phat.com isn't directed to anything related to "Phat Farm" I don't think it's true...
If it is...just another example of our messed up legal system

Don't the guys at Hormel realise that the ugly crap that floats on the surface of everyone's inbox is called 'Spam' for a reason?Spam is a product that you'd rather not receive.INTERNET SPAM HAS THE SAME RELATIONSHIP TO BONA FIDE E-MAILS AS HORMEL SPAM HAS TO BONA FIDE MEAT.



The only thing Spam is good for is for pelting spammers with.
