It seems like any jackass with a computer can send millions and millions of pieces of spam, causing their victims to waste their time sorting out the good mail - or, in this case, blog comments - from the bad. I’ll show you an example of one of 341 that I just cleaned out:
I must say i got here by mistake, but now i know it’s destiny. Great site! Small Cards is always Red Round: http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/ , Kill Plane is very good Grass right Chair will Increase Girl without any questions , Full, Central, Superb nothing comparative to Bad Round can Con Player
This is representative of 99% of the ones I got.
Compliment
This is always some sort of compliment. I chose the one above because it was so absurd.
Comparative Site
This is a semi-random phrase that indicates (via ‘:’) some site that a user might normally go to, chosen at random. The example above is for NetNewsWire, a Mac news reader.
Sponsored Links
I’ve taken the links out of them, but some of the words here would be used as links, mostly to online casinos or porn sites. Here the words are set up in a way that is seemingly innocuous (to a computer), but is nonsensical to us. Notice that they use the vocabulary of a casino.
How obnoxious.
