Why is SPAM called SPAM ?

The term 'spam' is derived from the popular Monty Python song 'Spam Sketch' set in a cafe where everything on the menu includes Spam luncheon meat. The chorus repeats 'Spam, spam, spam, spam, lovely spam, wonderful spam' over and over again and in the process belittling and drowning out all relevant conversations. Since 'Spam' involves sending identical messages to a large number of recipients without their permission, it has been called so.

Although this is the normal interpretation, I invite any blogger to give a different perspective to the concept of 'SPAM'....Ciao...until....my next post..
