No offense... but gimme a break.. SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM and SPAM.
HORMEL FOODS _THIS_. SPAM SPAM SPAM.
Freedom of speech. SPAM is a word. I will use whatever words I
want in my daily life. Nobody can copyright a word, and prevent
the human race from uttering it. SPAM.
I *DARE* them to persue me legally for using the word SPAM in
this email. If they were to.. they'd get slashdotted VERY
quickly, and likely a team of lawyers right up their *ss.
SPAM sucks, and it has been called such for quite some
time. Regardless of anyone's personal legal ideas... I will
continue to exercise my right to freedom of speech and choice of
words as a human being.
Try doing a search online on the word SPAM, and see how a lawsuit
would hold up in court. They'd have to sue about 20 million
people.
End of story.
