I am confuzed about how the second item even happened. Did someone actually write "subject line needs to be changed to" directly into the subject line box of their spam-generation program? Or, was this directive originally written in an internal company email and which someone copied and pasted into the spam program without actually reading the entire line? Either way, someone had to be in the spam program and not thinking about what they were putting into the form.

Whenever you see a financial value shown as $X.Y you know there wasn't any QA.

Someone responsible for this will have had - or been given - an action plan where one of the items read 'subject line needs changing to...', which they've just copy and pasted when sending the email. Doesn't speak highly if they're not actually giving it a quick proofread before hitting the send button though.
It's an easy enough mistake to make though, I've seen it here at work. We'll often get all user emails that have a subject that start 'FW: ' because no-one is paying enough attention.

It's the opposite of Hotel California. The line is "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave", but in the image it's showing you can't check out, but I'm guessing you could still go to another site or close your browser.
