Every day a plug-in called Akismet defends this blog from spambots who try to post comments the posts. Usually they’re obsequious comments that at first seem like they might be real, and just for a second you think, “Wow, someobody’s actually seeing all my hard work!” They’re always some variation of this:
I do like the way you have presented this particular issue and it does indeed present me a lot of fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, through what I have personally seen, I really wish when the comments stack on that men and women continue to be on point and don’t embark upon a tirade associated with the news du jour. Anyway, thank you for this outstanding piece and though I can not really concur with this in totality, I respect the perspective.
Then you realize that it’s all completely generic and could apply to any post ever written, and the post links back to “blowjobs galore” and it’s all just robots leaving posts.
Lately the blog spam as been taking an interesting turn:
The following time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my option to learn, but I actually thought youd have one thing attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly fix should you werent too busy searching for attention.
That one came from with a link to “handjobvideos.” I find it remarkable the lengths they went through to make it actually look like it was written by a human, complete with bad grammar and punctuation. Still, I wonder how many admins would approve a comment that’s both stupid and insulting?
This one was particularly distressing:
Had I known that this day would come, I would have gladly shriveled up and died inside the very womb that sustained me.
That’s a pretty extreme reaction to a post on Photoshop piracy!
