Sardines...
Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Spam owes much of its Global Reputation to Monty Python, Nothing like a Cambridge educated megaforce to make a Global Success of your products.
Many overseas students request it as part of the colleges weekly menu.
On a more Serious note, my reasoning why Spam mails are called Spam, is the exact same reasoning as the content of the food product.
For many it is just another bit of S**t that you don't need.
As for a Shillaber or to be partipant in the act of shilling, there is history of this activity in the sales markets going back centuries. As a result of the purpose of the practice, it is deemed a criminal activity.
