Choice bits in a piece of comment spam I just got a few minutes ago (which will remain screened so as to not benefit the spammers):My boyfriend and I host parties at our legislative body at least definitely a month, and off it hard to curb conversations succeeding on for the unalloyed night. Our friends are from unique walks of sentience after all ( Read more... )

"Our friends are from unique walks of sentience after all"

There's a story in there.

Sometimes I miss getting funny spam, and then I take a hammer to my forehead until the feeling goes away.

Maybe the amusing commentspammers are coming back.

"Run a basic review of a popular product through Babelfish 6 times" is an interesting brute-force way to get around whatever detection software LJ's using. Assuming that's the idea.

Huh. It hadn't occurred to me that LiveJournal's Russian masters might be making any attempt to intercept spam comments in advance.

The weird thing is, if you make any effort to understand individual sentences, it's obviously gibberish. But I find that if I just trace my eyes over the entire thing for a couple of second, I understand exactly what she's saying.

This may be a new form of encryption.

BillBill recently asserted to me that the purpose of social networking was to increase the range of channels for steganography. He subsequently pointed out http://yasminapp.com/ to me, which I have not yet tried out.

My God! Intelligent steganosauruses!

The entire spam, as a whole, was actually quite clear in its message, except for the aspect where every single sentence was gibberish. Once you insert back the name the Wii game and the online retailer being pushed, your choice is clear! Inevitable! You must!

I have been sporting Wii Sports a lot lately, because my daughter Jorie is now able to play the games. I can confirm that with moral 4 main games, things became wearying after a while. Actually it's moral 2 main games at our legislative body, because she only wants to play Bowling and Baseball with me. But she's starting to become a tricky pitcher.
