Spam and fears

I'm intrigued by the idea that spam in part reflects a society's collective deepest insecurities, the ones that people don't dare to talk about openly. Hence the themes of sexual performance (including *ahem* enlargement) and financial relief.

So, to cut a long story short: if spam reflects a society's fears, what does it mean that the spam that I get that originates from Singapore centres around selling copies of exam papers?
