SPAM

Why is SPAM a word with such unpleasant connotations?

Whether it is the slab of luncheon meat that was oh so popular in the early 1980s or the email variety that floods most free mailboxes, it raises up images of disgust among school children and Net users alike.

What has SPAM ever done to deserve such an outcry from society? Well, they're both unwanted. They both go in the compost / recycle bin at first opportunity. They both have content that seems ordinary but at second glance. they contain stuff you really didn't want to know was in them. They both had people jumping on the bandwagon and start dishing it out.

Long live Double Smoked Honey Leg Ham.

PS - the one good thing to come out of the use of SPAM is my church's Share, Prayer And Missions night - bi-monthly gathering of working and tertiary aged adults where we find out more about various topics that relate ot our Christian lives and pray for our church and our missionaries overseas. I guess every SPAM has a silver lining.
