Heh... just checked my own inbox for inspiration and...

 

"YOUR SECRET IDENTITY HAS BEEN DICSOVERD! DOWNLOAD IDENTI_FILTER NOW & PROTECT YOR PRIVACY!!!"

 

(Actually it was a warning that "Illegal material" has been detected on my PC...which needless to say is a big fib! I think the most disturbing thing about this particular trend in spam is that the senders are obviously confident that most people will have a guilty conscience about SOMETHING and react accordingly)

That sounds like those old comic book ads for Jiu-Jitsu manuals:

 

"Master Jiu-Jitsu and you'll win any fight."

 

Here's another possible spam:

Most of these could also be made into popup ads. I've also heard of a new type called a blare-out ad. You sit quietly, browsing the internet when suddenly, without warning, your computer speakers blare out an audio-only ad. To add insult to injury, you can't close them like a popup ad. They just run their course. I heard a radio host complain about one of these. He wanted to send his cleaning bill to the ad's sponsor.

 

 

Imagine sitting at your computer when suddenly:

 

TREMBLE IN FEAR BEFORE THE WRATH OF DESTROYER!!!

Yes, folks. That's just what ol' Doc Destroyer's voice would sound like through our new Maxima car stereo system. New at CarToys!
