	glbtq >> social sciences >> Hormel, James C.
		Hormel was named to the United States delegation to the United Nations Human Rights Commission in 1995, and in 1997 he became an alternate delegate for the United States at the United Nations General Assembly.
		Hormel's appointment to the U. General Assembly post was quickly and unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate, but when Clinton nominated him to be ambassador to Luxembourg in October 1997, a lengthy and rancorous political battle ensued.
		Opponents based the charge that Hormel was anti-Catholic on the fact that during an interview he had laughed at a joke about the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of gay men who dress as nuns and adopt humorous names for their characters.

	Nuclear Elephant: Hormel Attacking Anti-Spam Trademarks? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hormel Foods Corporation and Hormel Foods LLC have recently filed for extensions to oppose or to cancel many new and existing spam-related trademarks and are even filing a few technology trademarks of their own.
		Hormel makes the claim that the term spam was adopted in email based on a popular Monty Python skit, but many recall the term coming from the days of MUDs (Multi-User Dungeons), where the term 'spamming' was referred to as filling the computer screen with useless information.
		Hormel has shown discontent in the past of using the name for its meat to describe unsolicited commercial email, however the term 'spam' has become a household name, and in fact a majority of individuals are now believed to have a stronger association between spam and email than to food.

	Hormel Foods Corp.
		Hormel points out that some newspaper accounts already have confused the names "SPAM" and "Spa'am." Hormel directed the district court's attention to several news articles which evidenced some confusion concerning the spelling, pronunciation, and use of the two words.
		Hormel has shown no intention of entering the field of puppet entertainment with its attendant merchandising, see McGregor-Doniger, supra, 599 F.2d at 1135, and there is no evidence that consumers would relate Hormel to such an enterprise.
		However, Hormel overlooks the district court's findings that Spa'am is a positive character, that he is not unhygienic, and that a simple comic reference to the fact that SPAM is made from pork will not damage its image, especially in view of the lack of adverse effect from the numerous other humorous references to SPAM.

	Henson vs. Hormel Legal Opinion
		Hormel argues that it is clear that Henson intended to capitalize on the goodwill and reputation of its trademark and that this implies bad faith.
		Hormel argues, in fact, that Henson's use of Spa'am is not a parody at all because Henson has not made clear that the Spa'am character is not affiliated with or approved by Hormel.
		Hormel is unlikely to suffer weakening of its mark, because, as Hormel acknowledges, the joke relies on (and thus reinforces) the distinctiveness of the SPAM mark.
