Anti capitalists have hit upon a new and innovative way in which they boycott and target people and organisations that they do not like, with Microsoft founder Bill Gates finding himself at the forefront of these new initiatives.

Gates, the worlds richest man, has been attacked before, famously having eggs thrown at him whilst attending a conference in Belgium, and being mauled by an "ironic" tiger during a hospital visit to see his old friend Roy Horn last August.

The latest trend however is to attack the software magnet with tins of porked luncheon meat.

"I think it's fair to say that Mr Gates gets a lot of Spam" his spokesman told us "but we use sophisticated technology in the form of 300 lbs bodyguards to block it, or if the mood takes them, to eat it."

The Vikings from Monty Python continue to remain unavailable for comment.
