'twas unsolicited, 't was mass, but somehow it struck a chord with me so I
don't quite file it under SPAM.
Must be a british thing.
Did you hear about the House Of Lords [British version of the, um, what is
that American thing where a bunch of aging aristocrats that think they have
control over their country ... the senate?] point of view on spam:

lds03/text/30506-03.htm#30506-03_star0
Fears that government may not have a finger on the pulse of modern
technology were exposed in the House of Lords on Wednesday, as some
Lords debated unsolicited spam email, while others discussed the tinned
meat of the same name.
Lord Sainsbury headed the debate into draft regulations for the
limitation of spam and may have muddied the waters somewhat, given his
past as a supermarket baron.
However, confusion with the tinned meat appeared to be a genuine
obstacle to serious discussion for some Lords in attendance. Lord Renton
asked: "Will the Minister explain how it is that an inedible tinned food
can become an unsolicited email, bearing in mind that some of us wish to
be protected from having an email?"
Life imitates Chris Morris.
