Spam Comment of the Week: July 16 2014

Although I’ve been away from the blog for a few months, the spam comments have not subsided. Below are recent spam comments sitting in my pending queue for approval.

 

Let me take a moment to discuss each comment.

1. Good post. I’m facing some of these issues as well…

The spam comment above was in response to my blog post How the CDC Can Help You Survive Your Zombie Wedding. I’m intrigued that someone may have faced some of the issues outlined in that particular blog post.

2. certainly like your web site however you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I to find it very bothersome to inform the truth nevertheless I’ll definitely come back again.

I find it bothersome to follow sentences without capitalization and lack of proper punctuation. Zing! Take that Mr. car quote insurances.

3. I’m not typing out the whole quote on this one. I just wanted to point out one piece of the comment.

You managed to hit the nail upon the top…

Love it. This had to be a translation because most of us know this phrase as “hit the nail on the head.”

That’s all for this week. Tune in next time for Fun with Spammers!

Spam Comment of the Week: January 5 2014

This week’s spam comment is short and sweet.

Spam Comment of the Week: December 29

Hard to believe, this is the last Spam Comment of the Week for 2013.

This spam comment reminds us of why we just aren’t quite ready to let machines completely do all our work for us.  This comment reeks of translation software.

Spam Comment of the Week: December 22

Here is another fun spam comment.  While the comment makes a discernible point, the topic has nothing to do with the blog post. Also, the comment only raises more questions.

Good post nevertheless We have a concern : death metal is certainly not strictly speaking heavy metal when you look at artists love immortal, Sewer and also Darkthrone it is very similar to rock-and-roll excellent

Huh? I have a few questions/ concerns regarding your comment dear spammer.

1. Who exactly is “we”?

2. Please learn to use punctuation.

3. From my recollections of heavy metal, is not death metal a sub-genre of heavy metal? If so, this factoid would negate your statement.

4. Based on what you may know of me from my blog, do you actually think I will take the time to look up any of these bands you mentioned to decide if your statement is indeed valid?

5. How is this relevant to the post Spotlight Nominations?

Crazy spammers.

Spam Comment of the Week: July 17

Rather than put up periodic blog posts where I can poke fun at the crazy Spam left in my comment queue, I’ve decided to start a weekly feature where I pick one and show it to my blog readers, with all links disabled.

Here goes:

“Thanks to this blog, I have finally decided to do something with my free time.” 

You’re welcome Maribel. You are welcome.  As long as that “something” doesn’t involve leaving more Spam comments.

Mmmm….SPAM!

Occasionally the Akismet widget in WordPress leaves me spam comments to decide if they really are spam.  In the year that I’ve had this blog, all but 2 comments were legitimate.  Otherwise, the “maybe” comments left for me to review are genuine spam.

I used to delete these right away but now I hang onto them so I can openly mock them on my blog.  I haven’t done one of these since April, so I figured it’s time to make fun of some more spam. Is this childish behavior? Perhaps. But I don’t care as it provides much entertainment for me. 

WordPress Likes to Mock Me

I only realized recently that you can “Like” your own posts on WordPress.  I found this out when I was replying back to a comment and hit “Like” by accident.  No big deal, except that WordPress will mock you Carly Simon style for doing this.

  Come on WP!  If I don’t like myself, how can I expect others to like me?

Commercials That Annoy Me: McDonald’s Oatmeal

Had I been actively blogging during the holidays, I most assuredly would have put together several posts about commercials that annoy me.  Especially all those perfume and cologne ads…
