        The Story[^]

        The canned-meat company filed two legal challenges with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to try to stop SpamArrest (search) from using the decades-old name Spam, for which it holds the trademark.

        I didn't see Hormel sue Monty Python when they used Spam endlessly. Frankly, anyone producing the crap that is called Spam should be arrested and forced to eat that salty, gelatinous goo. X|

        Actually, fried up it's rather good - and cheap when you're young and have no money. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

            Actually, I was once poor. I lived off of canned beef stew, spam, and macaroni & cheese. These things, at a minimum, will sustain life. To me it did not matter... sliced, cubed, or fried... Spam alone is deadly.

                I was guilty of making one into a baked ham once for an Easter dinner. Cover it in sliced Pineapple and Cloves then bake until golden brown… Mmmmmmmm

                    ROTFLMAO!!! Sorry to do that to you, dude. I knew that if you hated SPAM you would absolutely abhor that pasty garbage. I can't believe that as a kid I actually liked it. Guess my parents must have shielded us from how bad our finances really were. Cheers, Tom Archer Inside C#,

                      Difference is MP were actually talking about Spam (the meat). Some people are corrupting the trademark into a bad thing. Like when Mattel protested Aqua's Barbie Girl song. Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
