Spam. We all get it. We all hate it. Want to have a laugh at the otherwise dry subject? Or maybe you have an electronically challenged friend who doesn’t understand the concept of spam and you want to provide them with a funny, yet semi-informative, video on what spam is. Whatever the case may be, the following video, created by a Youtube group that calls themselves “Glove and Boots”, is a hilarious video that explains what spam is. Check it out:
Take note, as Graham Cluley of Sophos points out, that the video gets one thing wrong. The word “spam” for electronic spam did not originate from Hormel Foods’ SPAM® food product but rather a Monty Python sketch from the 1970s. Still, that oops does not take away from comical nature of the video.

Hahahahaha, +1 thrice :)
Well . . . electronic “spam” may have originated from the Monty Python sketch, but that sketch was based on Hormel Foods’ SPAM® . . . [Squirrels, Possums, and Mice -- LOL]
fantastic!
The funniest thing about this video was the phrase “you just have to use common sense…”
roflmao…
their use of the word “common” is obviously non-compliant
