At the risk of responding too seriously, your average spam filter compares the ratios of "spam words" (e.g. viagra, etc.) to other words in the email. In order to get around this, spammers now throuw in a lot of other meaningless text, sometimes harvested randomly from web pages, so they they don't go over the spam ratio and make it into your inbox.
Another method (which it sounds like they used here) is to put their ad in an image, so that it also gets by the filter.
These two techniques have led to a lot more spam in my work email inbox over the last few years. Bastards.
