My “fav” SPAM/Open Post
This is an open trackbacks post. Link to this post and then track back. If you want to host your own linkfests, check out the Open Trackbacks Alliance.
Also note the other fine blogs featuring linkfests at Linkfest Haven.
The amount of SPAM I recieve varies a great deal from day to day and from one venue to another. My oldest active email address collects about 1,000 SPAM emails a day in its junk folder. I never bother to screen it. I do screen the SPAM I recieve in my blog comments filters. That can range–depending upon the day, weather, sunspots and demonic activity, from several hiundred a day to well over (on peak days) a thousand.
I do try to screen it all, in hopes of catching the two or three genuine comments caught amongst the dross.
SPAM, though massively packed with electronic cholesterol, can sometimes provide a sort of toxic amusement. For example, the noms de spam adopted by the boors who flood my spam filters range from the prosaic Mary Drake to the “timely” Hubert Tuesday, and along the way sometimes become colorful, strange or outright bizarre. Examples from ONE “set” of SPAM on one day last week:
Daffodil Rayford
Cosmo Chauncy
Solomon Ivory
Ayanna Primrose
Cybil Quillan
Wanda Zalman (love “her” fans—with apologies to Zalman Cooling *heh*)
Then there are the truly lame SPAM commenters such as the one below. Who, posessing at least anough neurons on the right location to make one complete synapse, would think the following would appeal to anyone?
rwerweer | yftrtyrfee@[2-4-6-8, who do we just love to hate].com | IP: 666.666.666.666 (IP changed to indicate the true source) Yes, each one of the “piping” symbols below was—though no longer!—linked to the spammer’s demonic hooks…

[...] David over at “third world county” wrote in his OTA post for today about his spam observations. You should think about installing the plugin David- It’s really helped me a lot!!! Mac over at MacBro’s Place was asking me about it after he’d seen my comment about using it but I’m not sure if he’s installed it or not or what his results are if he has. MAC?? [...]

Ads using ’sexy’ children rapped…
I believe children are being taught the ‘nag factor’ through ads made to appeal to young children. When they see children such as themselves in these ads, then it automatically gives them the idea they would love to have that same thing themselves.

Robin Williams is an Idiot…
Listen to this idiot: “100,000 Iraqis died” [because of our invasion of Iraq].
Obviously Robin Williams only reads liberal propaganda. They love to throw out this number as if it is some great evil. But I say, so what? They’re Muslims so who cares?…

The Ar–ab world is subject to genocide, it is true. It’s just that it’s mostly self-inflicted, and Israel has nothing to do with any of it.
