Like anyone else with an e-mail address, I've been getting spam from a certain allegedly Canadian drug supplier for years.

Starting last Wednesday, they've adopted a new strategy to sneak in past the spam filters. The spam carries the subject line Michelle Obama nude photos.

That is a mental picture I! Do! Not! Need!

#14  Up here in Anchorage, the Fly By Night Club used to feature Mr. Whitekeys (the owner)and the fabulous Spamtones music group. You had a choice of many beers on tap. There was a 50c tax on beers like Bud, and they featured Spam on their pub grub dishes.

#10  Beavis- oh yes, you can definitely find Spam in Muslim countries. The one I was in certainly had it everywhere. People would buy it for me as a "treat" when I would visit their homes....nasty stuff.

I never said a word about pork in it though, mostly because I'm fairly certain it isn't meat.

#6  On a lark I wikied spam.

Varieties of Spam vary by region and include Spam Classic, Spam Hot & Spicy, Spam Less Sodium, Spam Lite, Spam Oven Roasted Turkey, Hickory Smoked, and Spam Spread;[1] the latter is also available as halal food (see the halal sign on cans), meaning that it is permissible under Islamic law, and is especially popular in Muslim markets[citation needed].


Huh?

#5  5mt I agree with you, spam sandwiches are one of my favorite "Quick foods (Viena sausages is the other) and are great also sliced thin and fried as an "Other breakfast meat.)instead of sausage or bacon.

#4  I really think hackers should set up some fake spam for awhile. Basically it looks like typical spam but when you click through it tells you how you are dumb, your personal information could have been compromised and you are screwing up the internet and to stop.

Maybe if some people got that kind of message they'd think twice.

That and we should cut off entire countries from the internet if they don't go after their home-grown spammers (Yeah Nigeria, I'm talking to you).
