Canned Spam

And the tin looks remarkably like a Porsche Boxter:

Internet giant AOL has ratcheted up the war against unsolicited e-mail with a publicity-grabbing coup - an online raffle of a spammer's seized Porsche.

AOL won the car - a $47,000 Boxster S - as part of a court settlement against an unnamed e-mailer last year.

There is some bad news though:

The Porsche sweepstake lasts until 8 April, and will be open only to those who were AOL members when it was first announced.

Darn, and I was hoping somebody smart might win.
