Spam Update

Well, spam is tastier than the pemmican in the military survival pacs but … oh, sorry, wrong spam.

I noticed a new player – sites selling essays disguised as educational help sites. I assumed it was because of my post on the reaction to the student who wrote about ‘killing his neighbor’s pet dinosaur’ [The Kid Is Alright]. The insurance spam is directed towards my hurricane posts, so I assumed these guys would be spamming that post.

Well, that post is heavily spammed … by the guys promoting the ED drugs. The ‘educational help’ spam is all directed at Friday Cat Blogging. I write a post about a homework writing assignment but they spam cat pictures‽

I’ve been at this a long time, show a little respect and get me a better class of spammers.
