Is this the next step in Spam? Sponsorship deals?

I just was re-reading Irregular Webcomic again….And they had a fantastic idea that I can’t believe that no spammers have yet considered.  Sponsorship Spam.  Yes, Spam that has a sponsor…

“We reach tens of millions of verified e-mail addresses, every day!! Take advantage of our huge market penetration and high consumer awareness! Place your message on our spam!”

I could totally go for that…  It would help my Spam filter…
