We're Number One! We're Number One!
The U.S. of A. has received the Gold medal in the world spam competition, leading second place competitor South Korea by almost thirty points. Although the silly Olympics have drowned out coverage of this critical American win, let's do our part to congratulate the entrepreneurial sportsmen who have contributed to this impressive victory.
In related news, dozens have been arrested in a U.S. Justice Department crackdown on spam. Gee, do we want to be the champion or not?
Finally, these news items follow on the heels of SPAMARAMA, a Spam festival in Austin Texas that drew around 8000 people, and included a Spam eating contest. My guess is that an American won that event too.
