Seriously, ANYBODY? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to see that the majority of spammers continue to make only the slightest effort at varying the well-established formula–I’m sure it makes it easier for the spam filters to do their job–but, wouldn’t a spammer have a much higher chance of success if they could at least get the English translation close?

Seriously, if you’re going to make any effort to write something conversational, as opposed to just a list of links or dozens and dozens of random English words, why not at least make it sensible?

Actual text of a spam comment recently intercepted and automatically deposited in the “spam” folder at NKB:

I enjoyed the article and thanks in behalf of posting such valuable not up to snuff all right‘nesis in the interest all of us to discern, I alliance it both salutary and informative and I lob to signify to it as again as I can.

This particular “commenter” is apparently interested in spreading the word about the online store of a certain retailer of sunglasses in the UK.

All I can say is: spam am I disapproval both meaningful and extraordinary.
