This came as a comment on my blog. I had to smile at a spammer complaining about spam.

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).

Most of the comments that spammers have been trying to post on my blog these days have been beyond lame: a single word or lines of gibberish. Today''s spam is lame and charming, though it''s probably less charming in the original language. It''s sad that this junk gets through on so many sites. That just encourages the spammers.
