Following recent news that food giant Hormel will declare January 'Spamuary' to advertise the famed product, MrDamian has uncovered secret details of the advertising campaign.

Sick of hearing people complain about porn filled spam arriving in their mailboxes Hormel will distribute free cans of Spam that actually contain a folded up porn magazine. The cans will also carry an advert for discounted Viagra to capitalize on another common issue with junk email. The company defended this aggressive step sighting 'stiff competition' from Asia.

Consumer groups are already urging the public to buy 'spam filters'. These are innovative devices designed to stop the complimentary cans of spam fitting in mail boxes.

Similar to traditional spamming Hormel only needs a small percentage of people to open the porno spam cans to make money.

The packages have a GPS device that tells the company if an unsuspecting consumer open the packet. This lets Hormel know that the household are 'spam fans' and thus can be targeted for additional advertising.

The device works on the principle that you can't fit a square peg in a round hole, an age old problem that has foxed Welshmen for hundreds of years.

The Vikings from that Monty Python sketch are still on vacation in the Seychelles and unavailable for comment.
