Once upon a time there was the Internet. Then came the World Wide Web (WWW). And later there were blogs and with the blogs came the comment spam. And at first the comment spam was written by human spam generators usually writing in some sort of faked broken English that made you think the comment spam was actually written by someone named Abeen Mazoud Bizaar or some other such foreign type name. These human spam generators were paid plenty of Rubles dough to do this.
Then came the spambots. Little software type robots that wrote the same type of broken English comment spam only worse. It replaced the human spam generators that had been writing comment spam thus saving the owners of said spam operation lot’s of Rubles dough. This type of comment spam made you think that Abeen Mazoud Bizaar was living in a place called ‘Merry Meadows’.
Then came Aksimet and other such plugins that could be installed into blogs. These plugins went out and killed all the little spambots and things were quiet for awhile. But then came the human spam generators again only this was a whole new generation of them. They weren’t like the old models. And these new upgraded human spam generators have gone out of their way to welcome me home from the hospital.
All sorts of warm and wonderful comments have come my way from real estate agents in Ireland, time share folks in England, housing developers in Death Valley and someone selling vacation homes in India named Abeen Mazoud Bizaar.
Wonderful, nicely worded (time share) comments wishing me a fast and painless recovery, others from those kind (real estate) folks that are keeping me in their prayers, (products for dogs) people who tell me about having their own surgery and not to worry, things will mend—all sorts of delightful comments with caring and compassion just oozing out the sides of my comment boxes that just made me feel all warm inside.
I really hated to delete them.
So to all those real estate. time share, vacation homes and dog products type folks out there who took the time to actually read my “I’m back” post and write such kind and thoughtful words, I am truly sorry that I had to trash your comments. Spam is spam I’m afraid and no matter how nice it sounds or how relevant it may be…it’s ultimate destination is the cyber-toilet. Thank you for not writing more than a dozen of them.
Have a nice day though.
I got spammed by the FBI, looking for my name and address. Of course I gave it to them and am now waiting for the 15 million to be deposited into my account… but… they’re the FBI! I would have thought they’d already have my details!!! Strange.
K8 – Strange indeed but for some reason I wouldn’t be holding my breath for that 15 million.
Have you checked your bank balance lately? Might be a wise thing to do. Just a hunch on my part.
It’s okay, if the FBI doesn’t come through for me, there’s always Mr. Mohammed Naheed of Nigeria who has entrusted me with his fortunes for some unknown reason. Such a nice bloke! Totally worth the €8,000 I had to send him to cover admin costs.
