It was only a matter of time. In fact, I don’t know why they didn’t think of it thirty years ago. But Spam is like that. Spam is a bit slow on the take. It hasn’t changed since World War II. Maybe it has never changed.
At any rate, you would think there was a natural promotional vehicle or tie in when the Spam skit ran on Monty Python’s Flying Circus. Spam missed out on a prime opportunity. Now, there is an official SPAM Spamalot game on the Spam website to tie in with Monty Python’s Spamalot, the stage production that is touring the world in various forms. I am sure it was not Spam’s way to suggest this, but the folks behind the show. It is clear that the relationship improves Spam’s position in the world. The show can stand on its own.
I must worn you though, when you go to the Official SPAM site, you will be immediately assaulted by this guy, his dazed wife, and his goofy, but harmless enough son:
A picture may not harm you, but you will be immediately be assualted with a SONG on the site about SPAM. I scrambled to turn the sound off and you will too. Unfortunately, you have to get through this family to get to the game. Then finally you do. It is not really about SPAM, but SPAM needs all the help it can get. The game involves catapulting cows over to the other side, whether you decide to be English or French. Mindless Entertainment. Much better than SPAM!
