They're just spam payments. They'll disappear after a few days. Search for the address on here for more info.

I got two of them that were unconfirmed..

I think they were from the same source as yours...

The source addresses appear to be vanity addresses,

the first address contained the word "enjoy" as your one did
the second address contained the word "sochi"
1SochiWwFFySPjQoi2biVftXn8NRPCSQC

both showed up as "unconfirmed transactions"

This seems like a very hamfisted attempt at spamming, with the desperately obscured message "enjoy" "sochi",
which I assume would be regarding the Olympics which started around the time they arrived..

Although subtlety was never a hallmark of spam, I still have to ask.

Is this a serious attempt at advertising?
Am I supposed to leap up from my PC and switch on the TV?
Could it be a sarcastic message from someone with a grudge?

I assume it is a trial of a Bitcoin spam method....
I assume that with enough power, a vanity address could have up to 10 digits (not sure of exact maths),

I Assume Multiple Payments Could Contain More Complexity... see below

xIxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xAssumexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xMultiplexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xPaymentsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xCouldxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xContainxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xMorexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xComplexityxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I assume these messages did not get on the block chain, although I cannot be sure, since I am not a blockchain expert.
Can anyone confirm that?
How many other people got this/these messages or similar

They won't get a confirmation. They'll disappear after a few days of no longer being re-sent.

Thousands. Search the address on the forum.

Some people do this to add public notes to advertise their business they normally don't have any fees though which be a problem.
