Before we get into the good stuff I want to provide two plugins for fighting spam:
Askimet – Great plugin for protecting against spam, but sometimes I run into problems where it incorrectly classifies something as spam, so I check my spam folder once a day
GASP – This was my preferred method for protecting against spam, until just this last week one of our articles got literally 30+ spam comments, so I reinstalled Askimet and now I have both of them working.
Now, I figured since it was Friday we could have a light post by taking a look at some of the funny spam we’ve gotten over the last week:
I get it Julian, you’re selling Viagra – but you too Terrence?
Well isn’t that just the nicest thing anyone’s ever said.
Article on AOL – huh? I think you have the wrong person…
I was not aware there were such contests – but I will be looking into them, thanks.
I think he’s quoting Nietzsche…
Shouldn’t you be out defending Gotham?
This is the longest spam I’ve ever gotten…guess I need to work on my spam filters.
What’s the funniest spam you’ve ever gotten?
