They get all the usual suspects, from cheap credit card offers to cheap Viagra to pornography. One in five children actually opens and reads the junk, and you know what some of that more salacious spam looks like. Too bad you can't put spam somewhere near the Drano, Clorox and other household cleaners -- well out of reach.
