The "Daily Top 10" Spam Deluge

I don't know about anyone else, but over the past couple of days, I've been receiving repeated stupid annoying emails titled "Daily Top 10 Headlines Cnn.com" or "Cnn.com Daily Top 10" - something to that effect.
 
It got so annoying and obnoxious that I finally created a rule to block anything with the offending subject line.
 
How interesting, today, my Google alerts brought up a news story about this very spam trend, and it is BAD NEWS!
 
I don't click on these stupid links in such emails as the fake Top 10s, but there are probably those who do, and that could be very bad for them.
