More lame spam as blog comments

Robert Weiner

At their best, these are way more entertaining than email spam -- lots of creative English, garbled syntax, and mixed metaphors ("gladsome to mature this website," "earmarks of the army has recruited on boob tube," "Lossing albatross is benificial," "your current article causes me completely happy").

Lame spam of the day: disappointed spammer

Robert Weiner

Most of the spam that reaches me comes as emails, but my blog also attracts a fair share of spammy comments. The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this 1. Some are particularly lame (and some are pretty amusing).
