What is spam?
 
What exactly is spam?

Spam is a variety of things..
1) A horrid food substitute that everyone made fun of about 4 years ago yet all of the jokes about it have gotten stale
2) The endless e-mails that people receive about help on credit, "you may already be a winner" type stuff, or the thousands of "Extreme Barn Yard fun!" porn mails I get.. why do these people keep sending me this?! Basically junk e-mail
3) Spamming on message boards is kinda like repetivly posting the same thing over and over... and over all being annoying.
Hope that helps!

The food S.P.A.M. (stuff posed as meat.)

Christ Almighty,THAT post was spam!! If you wanted to know what spam is, look up the other 5 bajillion posts about it. Asking what spam is when you could easily just search about it or look in an old topic is as heinous as being a spammer. I'm sure you didn't mean to spam though

I think this was the one that started 'em all though.
