VIRB

I feel a bit like Leonidas must have felt. Well, minus the whole almost certainty of a painful death. But still, the spam comments that have been hitting the site are ridiculous. Luckily none make it through to the live site yet, but moderating some 30 comments every morning isn't that fun.

At least it's slightly more interesting spam. They've turned into giant paragraphs of text that seem like some kind of madlib (sponsored by a drug company, of course... the ones that sell V1@grrrA. Totally legit, they said so).

Here's some of my favorite lines (minus the links that are included on every 3rd word or so, of course) from the most recent one this morning. It seems that they went for a mythology (+ prescription medication) theme:

Poseidon any the getting triphasil 28 birth control tone which taking the plavix pain reliever migration.

First there for that what is the benefit

Demeter took into fustian symmetrel and abnormal behavior stopped there die off symptoms diflucan mask.

Greeks forbear people slain glyburide 5 mg three ladies omeprazole generic prilosec folly.

They inflate their dainty lasix weight loss chief who alesse how long midnight.

Hector still darts around depakote er and hair loss the six augmentin 875 mg tablet knee.

Homer principall and fill generic name for protonix befallen him paroxetine detox except minnows forsworn.

So... do people actually fall for this stuff? They have to considering the constant onslaught of spam being flung around.
