Over on Red Nose, all comments are turned off following an attempt at a comment spam blitz that, because we never sleep, we were able to counter within about five minutes.

This is what kills me: the spam starts off with something like this…

"Wow, great site, very interesting…"

And then proceeds to talk about asstraffic or viagra or casinos or levitra or something.

So they try and fool you with "Hope you update your site soon…" or the like and then try and sneak their ads in. The only way a comment like that will get online, however, is if somebody's foolish enough not to have some kind of comment spam thing in place to prevent the things from getting up on the site. But if that's the case, then why put the bullshit lead-in to the spam? Do they actually think they're going to fool anyone?

"They like my site! Awwww, I'll let them get away with that donkey-raping talk. I like them a lot."

I mean, does this make sense to anybody else?
