Spammy.
As a result of the hard work of some well-placed sources, I managed to get an interview with a genuine comment spammer. Here’s how it went:
Jimbo: “What is your name, sir?â€
Spammy: “My name is Sammy, but people in the business call me ‘Spammy.’ Kinda catchy, no?â€
Jimbo: “Frankly, no.â€
Spammy: “No sense of humor? That’s your problem.â€
Jimbo: “I’m really not interested in your attempts at humor. I am, however, interested in learning more about what goes on in the minds of spammers like you.â€
Spammy: “Let’s be clear here. All spammers are not alike. Don’t lump me in with the e-mail spammers. I am a ‘comment spammer’ – a specialist.â€
Jimbo: “Oh, I see. A specialist, are you? .How many bloggers’ comments do you figure that you spam in a given day.â€
Spammy: “cheapsattlelitetv dot com Are you kidding? I can spam 100,000 comments with a single mouse click. And, I can fit lots of mouse clicks into one day, let me tell you. penisextension dot com”
Jimbo: “What the hell do you think you’re doing?â€
Spammy: “cheap tickets dot com What do you mean, what do I think I’m doing? onlinepoker dot com”
Jimbo: “You son of a bitch. You’re spamming this conversation!â€
Spammy: “texasholdem dot com Yeah, what of it? I never miss an opportunity. refinancenow dot comâ€
Jimbo: “Do you realize how many bloggers would like to cut your limbs off and feed them to you?â€
Spammy: “freemovies dot com Sucks to be them, I guess. hotsex dot com”
Jimbo: “Do you have any idea how much I would like to cut your heart out and shove it up your ass?â€
Spammy: “cheap Levitra dot com Well, then I guess it really sucks to be you, doesn’t it? lovematch dot comâ€
Jimbo: “Don’t push me, shitball.â€
Spammy: “sisteraction dot com What are you going to do Chicky? Delete me? Bwahahahaha…….This interview is over. And, oh your comments are MINE! girlsongirls dot com“
Well, I tried.
Brilliant Jim, just brilliant!

Jimbo Caught One!!…
… and he didn’t KILL him… that is just plain wrong… personally, I can’t hold it against Jim… I blame New Jersey’s Gun Control laws…….

LOL! Love it. Next time you can get him, let me know and we will get around those assinine laws up there by using a spoon. Why, because it will hurt more, and take a much longer time.

I generally eschew ritual beheadings, but in this case I’d have gone for it.

Next time, let me know when you corner one of those critters. I have rope and you have trees in New Jersey, don’t you?
I’ll perform the ritual evisceration before we string the bastard up.

Hey boys…save some for me.

Sheilah… and every other part of his body too. I recommend the old ‘draw and quarter’.
Oh… and don’t forget referrer spammers. Check your stats and check your referrers. I’m willing to bet you have a lot that are from something-e-site.info or something-4u.info…
That particular bunch has actually taken down some sites. They go through like an out-of-control search bot and hit every page they can find.
