I Love Spam

First, I was busy with a lot of non-blog related job crap yesterday well into the evening, so I won't have any posts until later today. Second, I appreciate all the comments yesterday which were great and really spanned the poles of where we are in this country with mental health care, to grossly oversimplify. Thanks.

Third, I've been amused by how tricky the various spammers in the Netosphere have gotten with what they leave for comment spam these days in hopes that I--or any other blogger--will see the benign first bit of the entry and approve it, leaving links to porn and cheap Ativan all over the place. To whit:

"I feel like a complete blank. That's how it is. I can't be bothered with anything recently. "

There are other ones that are far more depression specific. Fascinating eh?

As far as comment spam goes, I've received a link to a front-page declaration of some anonymous stranger's love for me... no porn though... damn.

Hooray for typepad!

Can't use Captcha (or whatever they call it)?

Recently, I googled CL Psych's blog and a complete replica of it was there. All of the posts, and under a woman's name. Had cute type of background, and the only thing missing was the comment section.

I had never heard of fake covers for blogs being spammed out like that.

I like how people have to sign in and word codes to verify as Marissa points out; and I must say I also hate those things. I can't read those squiggly code letters for the life of me.

Ruth, once again, you make me laugh.
