Hello spam, why are you attacking me all of a sudden?


Is it just me or has every one else been inundated with spam comments?

I’ve gotten 20 in the past day.

Most are the generic;

Really great post, I’ll definitelly come back on your website.

– diver girl, green cpa and reading fundation.

C’mon guys, try a little bit harder at least. Give us some credit.

Some try to get a bit more specific to bypass the spam filter, but fail.

Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is truly informative. I’m gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. Many people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

What about Brussels?? I’ve never mentioned Brussels ever! Is that where the aliens are going to land?? TELLLL MEEEEEE!!!!

Very interesting information!Perfect just what I was looking for!

What information?? I triple dog dare you to find any sort of useful information in this blog! There is no information. Just me rambling.

Some try to get approval by targeting my ego.

I like how are you thinking…and I must confess I’m totally addicted to your articles!

I’m really impressed with your writing skills as well as with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a nice blog like this one nowadays.

Awww shucks. But seriously, no one likes how I think. I don’t like how I think. I treat my mind like a bad neighborhood, I never go into it by myself unless I’m packing some heat. With a tank.

And some are just mean

You smell and are a poo head.

Waitacottonpickingminutehear. Dagnabbit, Lane! 

PS.

No Lane did not actually write that in my comments. She just thought it. I can hear her from here. Also elephants have spots and llama’s are the best fighter pilots in the world, after the hairless mole rat.

PPS.

For some reason or other I have excess food this week. So no need to go grocery shopping! $50 worth of dvd/book shopping or put it into debt? Hmmmmm.

  1. I instinctively thought a giant can of Spam was attacking you. Followed quickly by the Kool-Aid man crashing through a wall to finish you off. “OH YEAH!”

    The only spam I get is “Great blog. I can help you with your web ranking by clicking on this link.” and “Seriously, your blog could be much better if you click on this link to increase your ranking.”

    Mmmm spam.

    P.S. You smell and are a poo head.

    • “Your blog could be better?” – Your blog is already awesome! I’ve had to sabotage it just so I can compete! (you havent found the bit I;ve sabotaged yet have you? MUAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!) Stop being awesome! You’re making me look bad.

      P.S. It is awesome you actually P.S.ed that. AWESOME! Usually I never get people to follow through on a joke like that! GET OUT OF MY BRAIN!

  2. I get those all the time! They are so funny. They always tell me it was useful information and it never makes any sense. What’s useful to them about my life?

    • I know. The only useful thing about my life is that its serves as a warning to others as what NOT to do. Your life though seems to looking up, so maybe they see you as an example to be followed. Like Barney (the dinosaur, not the Stinson) to us the metaphorical kids of PF blogging. This is the song that never ends… yes it goes on and on my friend… wait thats Lambchop. Hmmm random thought why would you name a sheep as a cut of meat that you would eat? That would’ve been like instead calling the pig “Babe” you’d call him “Hmmm, Bacon”. Thats just mean.

      • Have I just been dubbed as the Barney of the PF Blogosphere?

        At least if I were the Barney Stinson of the blogosphere, I would be LEGEN.. wait for it.. DARY. .. Well I guess it’s good that I’m not the Hitler of the PF Blogosphere. What would that make you, then? 🙂

      • Hmmm… wait I changed my mind… you are the Barney Stinson of the blogsphere! Not dinosaur Barney. You are that awesome. Well since I’m not married to the perfect other half I can’t be Marshall. I’m not a redhead so I can’t be Lilly. I’m not obsessed about finding “the one” so I can’t be Ted… I am from another English speaking country and I say certain words funny, so that would make me Robin! Crap. Why do I always end up as a girl in these games?

  3. I find the amount of spam I get comes and goes. It can be weird. The best part is when they obviously are just using key words. So I wrote a post about how stupid it was that my GF was considering a payday loan to repay me — long story — and I had like 5 different spam messages for online payday lenders. Uhm, who was ever going to read that post and suddenly want to use a payday lender?

    I get the thanks for the information ones too. It isn’t too bad. I know some people who approve every post to reduce it. The amount of spam I see never gets that high.

    • I liked that post about your GF and the payday loan. I so get what you mean, about being frustrated cause you want to do the right thing, but people just don’t seem to get that you’re not PF Nazi. You actually inspired a post! (I’m still working on it though)

      I got one in two weeks, and then all of a sudden I got 20. And I was so excited too… I thought a lot of people had commented :/ Turned out to be bots. *shakes fist at spam bots* Thats for getting me all worked up!

  4. Look at what the cat dragged in: http://inmintcondition.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/nowwithlesssodium.png

    Is that not the most epic thing you’ve ever seen?!
