Spammalot

At some point, for some reason, every blog seems to get hit up by spam-bots. I suspect mine gets targeted because I link images directly to my site without re-hosting them somewhere else.

I've pretty much solved the problem by making my comment section a little more difficult to post on. Once an article is two weeks old, I have to approve any comments. I just thought I'd share some of the weird spam I've been getting lately.

Here's one of half a dozen I got on this post:

buy Wellbutrin to consider approving them
online ED Trial Pack After one year, more patients -
buy Kamagra Soft Flavoured 12-year results? he said.
buy now Sildenafil (Caverta) and should be considered as first-line treatments,
online Avapro Kantarjian noted....

And it just goes on and on like that, with links covering the entire thing, all leading to shady penis enlargement sites. Not that there's any penis enlargement sites I would particularly trust, but I shouldn't assume there isn't actually an Honest Abe's Oversized Knobs site or something.

But the past couple days I got some spam I'm really on the fence about. First indicator that it's spam is that comments are anonymous, but this is one from my review of She's Out of my League I was a little confused about:

It is simply matchless theme :)

What the heck does that mean? I approved it because I figured that it would make sense to somebody, and maybe someone really does think She's Out of my League is 'matchless theme.'

But here's one I found this morning from my post about those guys who stand in bathrooms and hand you towels and stuff.

Genial brief and this mail helped me a lot in my college assignment. Gratefulness you for your information.

Whaaaaaat? Okay Anonymous, now you're just messing with me. Best as I can tell he/she/it meant

"This was brief, the article helped with my college assignment. Thanks for the info!"

So if anyone has any interpretation theories of these comments, or better yet, Anonymous, if you're out there, keep on posting these weird comments, they're definitely worth the read.

Or, finally, if it's a computer, I don't think we'll ever have to worry about a Terminator style apocalypse. The robots are going to be too busy selling us Viagra to destroy mankind.
