Here's a sample of what's showing up in my spam file lately. They all say they're from MSNBC. I wish they were real!

Don't click! There's a virus under one of those links!
I rarely go into my spam folder anymore, unless I suspect something I've been waiting on has accidently ended up there. Which is why I checked it just a few minutes ago and saw exactly what you mentioned!
One of them is a real story (the Arkansas Democratic chair who died), but the rest, yeah, pretty wild. Did you get the one about the Nancy Pelosi video, too?
I'm also getting a lot of spam that's all weird little boxes with numbers in them.
Needless to say, none are opened!
I just wish the email I was looking for would show up so I don't have to wade through the junk again.
Good point. You're right -- don't click those links! I knew they weren't real, but I moused over them anyway, just to see the URL in the whatever-that-field-is-called box at the bottom. It was definitely bogus, but I remember thinking it was a pretty deceptive fake.
I scan my spam folder every day or so and delete everything. Ever since that famous writer, Frank Baron, told that wonderful story of the fanmail he got that he almost missed because it somehow went to spam.
