Ok its a stupid spam question

Sorry for the stupid question.

I get much spam that is filtered and some that is not.

Nowerdays many items come with oddly misspelt titles, I guess this is to try to fool the spam filters,

What I dont understand is why do so many e-mails have obviously porno stuff and then 4 or 5 lines of mad random words with no meaning.
As per this

removeinformant lithograph moisture tooth pain cedilla statistician canaan droop pyrolyse wreath cytolysis bay custer anchovy catv weekend squill blutwurst ***** embellish cent pottery elastomer ontology stupor ebony conservatory realtor bandwidth gibby celebrant raze clime ferris scar dozen callisto brittle

If it is obvious sorry, I build houses, Im not an IT bloke.

I have been wondering that too. Wired News: Random Acts of Spamness seems to explain it
