There is many different kinds of SPAM:

===========================
Spam (food)

Spam is a canned meat product made by the Hormel Foods Corporation. It has gained a peculiar infamy, along with something of a place in pop culture, and has even entered into folklore and urban legend.

Spam is produced in (among other places) Austin, Minnesota, USA (aka Spam Town USA). The labeled ingredients in the original variety of Spam are chopped pork shoulder meat with ham meat added, salt, water, sugar, and sodium nitrite.

Other varieties of Spam differ; Spam Lite contains pork and chicken, and Spam Oven Roasted Turkey is a halaal food, meaning that it is allowed under Islamic law, and is especially popular in Muslim markets. It also comes in a low-salt variety.

Like most other luncheon meats, Spam is precooked. However, Spam is often pan-fried or otherwise heated through again to impart a pleasing texture and flavor.

As of 1997, over 5 billion tins had been sold worldwide. [1]

===========================

Spam (electronic)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Spamming is the abuse of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited, undesired bulk messages. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, and mobile phone messaging spam.

Spamming is economically viable because advertisers have no operating costs beyond the management of their mailing lists, and it is difficult to hold senders accountable for their mass mailings. Because the barrier to entry is so low, spammers are numerous, and the volume of unsolicited mail has become very high. The costs, such as lost productivity and fraud, are borne by the public and by Internet service providers, which add extra capacity to cope with the deluge. Spamming is widely reviled, and has been the subject of legislation in many jurisdictions.

===========================

E-mail spam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

E-mail spam is a subset of spam that involves sending nearly identical messages to thousands (or millions) of recipients by E-mail. Perpetrators of such spam ("spammers") often harvest addresses of prospective recipients from Usenet postings or from web pages, obtain them from databases, or simply guess them by using common names and domains. By popular definition, spam occurs without the permission of the recipients.

===========================

Spam (Monty Python)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Spam is a popular Monty Python sketch, first broadcast in 1970. In the sketch, two customers are trying to order a breakfast from a menu that includes the processed meat product in almost every item. The term spam (in electronic communication) is derived from this sketch [1].

It features Terry Jones as The Waitress, Eric Idle as Mr. Bun and Graham Chapman as Mrs. Bun. The televised skit also featured John Cleese as The Hungarian, but this part was left out of audio recordings of the sketch.

Only three and a half minutes long, it builds up into a semi-argument between the waitress who has a menu limited to having SPAM in just about everything ("SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, sausage, eggs and SPAM"), and Mrs. Bun, who is the only one in the room who does not want it (despite there being some items mentioned that do not actually include SPAM, she nevertheless asks for an item without SPAM in it).

At several points, a group of Vikings in the restaurant (referred to as the Green Midget Café) interupt conversation by loudly singing "SPAM, lovely SPAM, wonderful SPAM." They are interrupted by the waitress several times, but they resume singing more and more loudly until at last the song reaches an operatic climax.

In the end credits, every member of the crew has either SPAM or some other food item from the menu added to their names.

This was the final sketch of the 25th show of Monty Python's Flying Circus, and was first aired December 15, 1970. Despite its shortness, the sketch became immensely popular. The word "SPAM" is uttered at least 132 times.

This sketch has also been featured in several Monty Python videos including Parrot Sketch Not Included - 20 Years of Monty Python.
