The following is the *entirety* of the junk mail. No hidden HTML, no nothing; I've only cut the list of other people that recieved this junk:

S'what happens when people type Engrish while drunk.

Seriously, I dunno -- could've been a glitched bot or maybe a virus riding the email or a spam trawler.

Or there's a very drunk ghost in the machine. :D:

I always assumed that Info Osrtilage was based off Gibson's Bridge Trilogy character Laney. Which was cool, 'cause Idoru is some of his best work.

That's usually the sort of thing somebody will put up for a spam bot bait. The resulting excess of information (And usually links as well) tends to crash them at a moment's notice.
