Oh, spammers! Thanks for the much-needed giggles. Low-information spammers or best spam mail ever? You decide! In the meantime, other Twitter users offer up more contestants for the best spam email subject award:
Hmmm… it’s amazing that an email with the word “COCKZILLA” in the subject ended up in my spam folder. Good call spam filter.

Heh.
The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto found a couple of doozies:
Spam subject line: "Literally chop your house payment in half." Since I pay online, I don't see how that's even possible.

Spam subject line of the day: "HOTLINE: Switzerland – it's even more Swiss than you think"
— James Taranto (@jamestaranto) March 5, 2013
Strong contestants! Here are some others:
Spam email subject: INTERNAL MESSAGE FROM THE INSTIGATION DEPARTMENT
— Jason Imms ???? (@jasonimms) August 5, 2013
Spam email people: Just a thought but writing the word *Importent* in the subject line is a bit of a giveaway
— Annie West (@anniewestdotcom) August 5, 2013
Spam email subject line: Sleep with 6 girls in the next 6 days

Best spam subject line tonight: "FREE ACCESS TO LOCAL SLUTS". Cracks me up every time I see it! #spam

Best spam subject line I've ever seen "SEXY REDIAL BIKINI". I now must form an all girls punk band of the same name.

Beautiful.
Just got a spam with the subject: "$1.27 in 17 hours interest you?" Would that interest ANYONE?

Snicker.
And an exit sign of the times.
