How Can Yahoo!’s Spam Filter Be THIS Bad?

Please explain to me how it is that Yahoo! can't figure out that the following e-mail messages are spam... It boggles my mind...

Example 1:

From: Jasmine Carter <eshulsenerman55@yahoo.co.uk> (was this sent from Yahoo! mail? Wouldn't the user hve a bad history?)

Subject: PrettybtP0rn0qshotswz NkLwEcPfjuBSvtYzMh

Body: http://74ce532cee461e8c.faceplanesize.com!}TrKbR3ineUtLzxINIU PJBgeXVHxUdnRToTQMqagL

Example 2:

From: Shelby Taylor <garlettabearden94@yahoo.co.uk> (again, a yahoo.co.uk e-mail address)

Subject: -SEX-U-A-LY_EX-PL_I_C_It SPzNynCLWiTnPJyPJmvU

Body: NpZnutWnmUdgdZuJZDfUVp{)dad4479785c30468.yessoontalk.com}&bcRREwMbmEcGfdoTH NgRIcnHXqsmQIZ1T

Example 3:

From: F-r_eePodrnoMotionpictureq <karynmarshi86@yahoo.co.uk>

Subject: [ No Subject ]

Body: hzxqipfrguknzsip{http://13e0754d679f4cd1.questionexamplehouse.com}!hjgfarfbHectcGu rPwwoRWqHyVpqXyPNrcIcVG

I just don't get it. How can their spam filters miss these e-mails? It can't be that hard to write a spam filter to detect messages like these... I wonder if Yahoo! UK isn't having some sort of problem - all the e-mails appear to come from there.
