I'd love to know exactly which publishers these are who're getting mountains of shite in their slush pile every December.
More common than you think, sadly. I used to read a lot of agents blogs (fewer since I realized I was using it as a procrastination method) and they've all talked about getting NaNo novels in December. One of them, either Janet Reid or Editorial Anonymous I believe, once mentioned a guy who sent in his entire typo-riddled, grammar-murdering, incomprehensible manuscript. Apparently, he couldn't even be bothered to finish his sentence and just dumped it in the mail at exactly 50,000 words.
