Yeah, those ones are annoying... but in most cases I think the phising emails are sent out and spread by worms. The ones that try to install spyware as soon as you load the message in outlook are a pain too, good thing antivirus companies are all up to date these days.
I report the ones that are promoting US affiliate programs too, the spammer might not be in the states, but affiliates promoting US programs still have to follow US laws. Unfortunately there are still a couple affiliate programs that allow spam, but it has to be can-spam compliant... and it never is because they try to sneak it through email filters.
