Once I start getting about half of those, I tend to switch accounts...
Are there any particular ones which you find exceptionally frustrating? I'm always grumpy about the "You're over 30 and going downhill... try our new drug, FREE!"

My work account also receives emails addressed to "publications@(my work domain)." Which, since so many spammers assume that your email address is also your name, makes for quite funny subject heads. My favorite:
"Make her scream tonight, Publications"
As somebody who has spent the past 6 years or so working in a profession where you target specific audiences to give them information, it irks me that spammers place so little importance on research and targeting. If they'd do their homework they would learn that as a woman, I probably don't need magic ejaculation pills, and as a white person I probably aren't interested in an African American dating service. I just think they'd have better luck if they'd be more selective about who they send their crap advertisments to. Does anyone respond well to poorly written, crudely messaged adverts?
