Actually... SPAM is a "lovely" meat *food* product that comes vacuum-packed in a tin. The taste is so wonderful, it can be used at practically any (non-kosher) meal in combination with any other *food* product. SPAM is a first cousin to the good old Christmas fruitcake, commonly known as a paperweight, doorstop, or just "brick". To get the full gist of what SPAM really entails, you need to sit yourself down with the entire Monty Python's Flying Circus video library... 'Nuff said there. Hence the term "SPAM" has been stretched (nice visual image there folks!) to include all that lovely unsolicited email that knowone really wanted in the first place.
