Two memorable WordPress spam comments (click to expand). I find the first one particularly curious (which of the five topics in the posting, I wonder, is Jesus alleged to be exercised about?).
Even on this sad little blog with hardly any readers, I get dozens of spam comments a day, which get autofiltered out or trapped in a moderation queue. This must work, or people wouldn’t bother, but it’s such garbage for the most part. And then there’s something like this. For “gooblegobble,” substitute a two-word phrase referring to an increase in size of the male member, which I’ve suppressed so that this post doesn’t get caught in anyone’s spam filter. And the arms race goes on…
HELP! I’m currently being held prisoner by the Russian mafia xyzrxyz [url=.....]gooblegobble[/url] xyzrxyz and being forced to post spam comments on blogs and forum! If you don’t approve this they will kill me. xyzrxyz [url=.....]gooblegobble[/url] xyzrxyz They’re coming back now. xyzrxyz [url=.....]gooblegobble[/url] xyzrxyz Please send help!
