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"

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?
