    So I've read the 50 or so responses so far, and they all amount to "Bravo Hormel...thanks for having a sense of humor."

    But let's not forget that spam is anything but a value-neutral product. Sure, it doesn't look or taste like there's any real meat in there, but there is. And if you're going to eat the stuff, you ought to know how meat is produced.

    It's always bothered me how few people in the tech community are clued into the cruelties associated with factory farming. Hormel is not a company that deserves anyone's praise, and it certainly doesn't deserve free ads on Slashdot.
