It's to get around spam filters. If I understand correctly, they have to send random messages because the servers will notice if identical messages are sent thousands of times. It has to look like meaningful text because some spam filters are sophisticated enough to recognize outright gibberish.

I think they generate them by grabbing random short excerpts from various sources and stitching them together.
