Beat the Holiday rush

What, I ask you, is the point of spam? Who in their right mind is going be taken in by:

"Beat the Holiday rush: Remote control Hovercraft"

Where is this rush for "Remote control Hovercrafts" coming from? Too bizarre. It's like spam for spam's sake.

Also, I love gmail, don't get me wrong, but I'm starting to get spam for it. The strange thing is the spam is addressed to (among several other email addresses):

"miguel_angel_ortega@gmail.com"

What??

Apparently I'm getting spam for Midgetb and Mikebatdorf, also. It's too bad, too, because these look like some very cool "Replica Rolexs" and "cheap high-quality software."

I've been getting those misspellings in spams too... I haven't figured out why the spammers do that... maybe it helps them avoid some kind of filter? Filtering by tearoffs maybe? But why would they make the To: field be similar to the original email address? Strange.
