Fun fact: This 1970 Monty Python sketch is why unsolicited commercial e-mail is called "spam." In the earliest days of online message forums (i.e. USENET), many people warned that if advertising were allowed to be posted at all, it would inevitably grow to overwhelm everything else, the same way the sketch's singing Vikings drown out everything else after the waitress fails to quiet them.
