Eggs, Bacon, and SPAM pt.2

Comment spam. Motherbleeper. Like spam in emails and on forums aren't enough, not to mention those godsdamn pop-up ads.

Yeah, I've deleted them now, but there were some comments left on some previous posts. For the record, here they are:

What a great site, how do you build such a cool site, its excellent.»

Super color scheme, I like it! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing this wonderful site with us.

Hallo I absolutely adore your site. You have beautiful graphics I have ever seen.
»

Your website has a useful information for beginners like me.

Notice the little links at the end of each that lead to some perverted idea of what an ad should be. What the hell's up with that, anyway? First of all, there is a total of no people reading this blog, so it's not exactly good advertising. But why do these links lead to a search engine with completely random queries already entered? This kind of weird underground piracy just doesn't make sense to me and you know, I don't think I ever really want it to. I'd prefer to just hate and judge it from a distance without knowing whether or not it actually works. You know, like any other guy who argues without knowing what the hell he's talking about. Like Xbox-hating Nintendo fanboys. Like, to steal a line from Craig Ferguson, FOX NEWS. Which is ironic, because I don't know anything about Fox News, so I really shouldn't be making a joke at their expense.

THE POINT IS that from now on, comments will have a Word Verification Thingy (tm), compliments of the wondrous service that is Google, that you'll have to go through to leave a comment. It's just one of those "type in the word that you see above" things that hopefully spammers won't be able to bypass without actually visiting my blog and posting a comment themselves. Which I would kind of like to see happen. It might convince me to leave the spam posted.

I've left commenting open to anonymous writers, so if you're a real boy like Pinocchio you can leave a comment without getting a Blogger account. Of course, considering that there are ZERO people leaving comments, which interestingly seems to be the number of people reading the blog, I don't think that this entire post was at all necessary.

I'm going to go die a sad, lonely death now.
