Spamming the Globe...

The article focuses on spam which is going bigtime and highstyle. The trademarked name will be appearing on Broadway this spring in the title of a musical called Spamalot, an adaptation of the movie classic Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail. Meanwhile, Spam has been going brie-and-chardonnay in the Far East, where Spam gift boxes are prized gifts and where a chain of restaurants highlighting Spam dishes operates units that flourish in upscale malls. The restaurant chain, SpamJam, features a menu ranging from the conventional (Spamburgers), the derivative (Spam Nuggets) and the inventive (Spam Spaghetti), to the faux-parodic (Spam Salad With Sesame Dressing) and the inexplicable (Spam Maki).
