Funny Spam

May 27, 2007

I don’t know how many of you are familiar with running a blog, but one of the things you have to deal with is comment spam.  I use Wordpress, and it has a built-in spam catcher.  Once your blog starts getting hits, you have to sift through spam almost daily or it really piles up.  I get a 100 or so spam comments every couple days.  You have to go through them all because every once in a while a valid comments gets caught in the net.

Anyway the spam is the usual stuff: lots of porn and viagra/cialis links.  Sometimes there are some unusual or funny comments in there.  Like the comment filled with porn links that has “Sorry” and a frown face at the beginning. 

But today, I think I saw the weirdest and funniest one to date, and I had to share it with you.  I’m not going to show the actual links - I don’t want to give the spammers the satisfaction of even some “just curious” hits, but here’s how the comment showed up:

Now, unless I’m missing something, this blog has nothing to do with Michigan OR funeral homes.  And no, I don’t have a secret obsession with Michigan Funeral Homes.  Just odd…
