Spam Selection
Welcome to my monthly selection of the spam that’s popped into my spam comments filter over the last month. This month, there is no robust language and not really any explicit sexual content, so if you were likely to be offended, then you probably won’t be. If you see what I mean.
I have seen all InternetSpammer ‘G’
Well, that’s quite impressive. That must have taken you some time…
The Friends, who heard what your opinion on the WATERINGSpammer ‘D’
You what? Watering? What watering? What friends?
You had to admire the cheek of the next one…
A discarded cigarette caused a car to catch fire in Great Ponton, near Grantham, last night. The owner of the BMW Z3 extinguished the fire with a powder extinguisher by the time firefighters from Grantham arrived on the scene at around 6.15pm [link] Buy Discount CigarettesSpammer ‘C’
So let me see, someone set fire to their car by forgetting about a lit cigarette, and you are suggesting it would have been much better if they had done it with a cheaper cigarette?
I thank the Lord for giving us the gift of brilliant preachers!Spammer ‘R’
Well, amen to that brother. Not entirely sure how that relates to your website which seems to focus very much on graduate loans. Unless you specialise in loans to theology students, I suppose…
The next one is an example of someone who gets shoved into the spam queue by the fact that they’ve not actually supplied their name, making it look more like spam. Obviously, I have no problems with the sentiment.
i am adding this blog to my favourites, will make sure to visit it at least once a dayWeb Designing
Sorry, Mr. Designing, but if you do that, it looks like you’re just trying to get links to your company. If you’d actually used your real name, it wouldn’t have looked like you were trying to get keyword-based SEO…
To whom to sell the ARTIFICAL? Write on mine e-mail or call.Spammer ‘F’
Call? If you want someone to call, isn’t it traditional to provide a phone number?
ours online-shop! Only for dead presidents Spammer ‘L’
Only for dead presidents? I would have thought that their purchasing power was somewhat reduced by the fact of them being, well, dead. I mean, I understand that sometimes you want to market for a particular niche, and while theoretically there are a lot of dead people, so far as I am aware, they don’t tend to buy much online…
Pictures of warts!Spammer ‘M’
Hmm. I’m presuming you discovered that sending people lists of links with ‘naked [name of celebrity]‘ wasn’t particularly working, so you’ve decided to try a different tack. Not entirely convinced that you’ve hit on the right one here, though…
You have excellent analysis. thanks for writtingSpammer ‘P’
Thanks. And as part of my analysis, I would advise that you normally only spell writing with one ‘t’.
Your blog are very useful to my daily life. I really enjoy reading them.Spammer ‘H’
I can possibly understand someone enjoying my blog, if they happen to like the writing style. Someone finding it useful however, I consider to be considerably less likely. And when that someone is called ‘How To Get Pregnant’ (tip: unprotected sex), I consider it spam!
And that’s it. Unfortunately, the humour quality of the spam has been rather poor this month, although I have noticed the new trend of “where do I find out about SOMETHING IN CAPITAL LETTERS?” followed by a big list of links. I also noticed a few links to “uk bbc news”, which I had traditionally thought was found at http://news.bbc.co.uk, but according to these spammers was on a different domain entirely. Well, either that or they were telling fibs…
