Spam awards?

Commercials are those annoying things on TV that have evolved to create a following, to the point where there is even an awards show for the best commercials (the Cleo's).

If we viewed spam in the same light, would we hate it just a little less? I get some pretty funny junk in my mailbox. Today's winner: "Get rid of that unibrow!"

Some spam I get is actually quite positive. "David, you are the world's greatest!" kind of stuff. "dkoelle, have a happy day!"

I don't use HTML when viewing my mail, so often, I won't even see the spammer's message (if I bother looking at the email in the first place), but instead I will see a bunch of filler words. These can be pretty funny, too. I also notice a predilection towards minerals (apatite, orthoclase, quartz) in these lists.

What's the best piece of spam you ever got?
