For some reason, I just got suddenly curious what the folks at Spam thought about their trademarked name being used as a vernacular term for unwanted solicitation.

So, I went to [spam.com](http://www.spam.com) (high speed probably required) and was really surprised by the content. These folks at Hormel Foods have a decent sence of humour and have developed a fantastic website to promote their product. It even has a link to Monty Python’s Spamalot tour and, well really the whole website is kinda Pythonesque.

Have a browse. It’s fun!
