A rarity: I actually like this Spam comment

Despite our best efforts to keep spammers from adding comments, sometimes they get through. I always immediately send them to the Spam file, but I just couldn’t do that with this one.

The spammer’s name was a link to another blog (no, I didn’t click on it) but there were no imbedded links (to sites selling fake Air Jordans, etc.) in the body of the comment, which was unusual. It was just the words below, at which I just can’t stop laughing. My dad was a teacher and saved some of the “best” stuff he got from students.  Vocabulary tests were a good source because they produced some totally nonsensical stuff like this:

“Somebody necessarily help to make significantly articles I’d state. That is the very first time I frequented your website page and to this point? I amazed with the analysis you made to create this particular publish extraordinary. Magnificent activity!”

    The words seem very complimentary, I think. Almost seems that you should get a pay raise…

    Olson Johnson : Now how can we argue with that. I think we are all indebted to Gabby Johnson here for clearly stating what had to be said. And I’m glad the children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish…but it expressed a courage that is little seen in this day and age.

About this blog

Mark Taylor.

Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.
