Last Friday night, the Reading Phillies figured out a clever way to trick people into purchasing a can of world’s most disgusting processed meat, Spam. For a mere $5, fans were given their very own slab of stinky meat along with a plastic knife. They were then encouraged to make a creative carving out of it, with the winner receiving a $100 cash prize.
Entries included such works of art as a goldfish, a Spam castle, even a “sort of like a cube thing, like one you would find in an illusion book.” But none of these submissions held a candle to the Bernini of bogus beef, Sheila Moll, who’s masterpiece “R-Phils Baseball Cap” beat out all comers en route to the victory.

Is it just me, or did it look like that mascot starting licking himself behind that field reporter?

Nothing beats the promotions of minor league baseball teams. Nothing.

Why doesn’t PETA ever address the plight of the Spaminal? Have you ever seen the Spam ranches of North Jersey? It’s is heartwrenching to see those poor defenseless, pink, hairless and greasy spaminals subjected to that kind of mistreatment. I’m thinking of starting a spaminal adoption agency, like they do for greyhounds…

No. And NOTHING is going on at The Fightins to bump this story.
Kinda depressing, really.
