Matthew writes: Hormel Foods, makers of all legitimate SPAM, has voiced its opposition to the current anti-SPAM legislation being considered in Congress.
“This anti-SPAM bill casts far too wide a net. Basically, it makes all unsolicited SPAM illegal and provides for very large penalties against people who serve SPAM without the SPAM having been requested.”
“Of course we’re opposed to this. Can you imagine a hostess serving SPAM being required to get permission from each of the guests before she can deliver a delicious slice of processed pork parts? It is just going to ruin the festive nature of SPAM. Frankly, we’ve been baffled by all the bad press SPAM has been getting.”
