Why does gmail insist on spamming me?

Recently, it would seem that gmail has reached the critical mass of users where generating email addresses to spam is a viable business model. Just today, I've gotten spams to wismann, wismar241, wismans, wismannu, and wisma. My address is my last name at gmail.com, so why on earth are these messages delivered to me?

I know gmail does some magic to enable first.last@gmail.com to be the same as firstlast@gmail.com, but this is a pain I don't need. Granted, all of these have been properly identified and routed to the 'Spam' label, but I don't want to see the stinking things at all, even in my spam folder.
