From The Spamfiles


Lots of spam in the comments this past week. Which is weird, since it’s been months since I’ve gotten even one.

Of course it has a link to buying a vacuum cleaner. If you’ll recall, the post was about a cat.

Look at this! That’s sixteen comments on posts from years ago. All in the space of about ten
minutes. I practically had a heart attack when I opened my mail and found so many messages waiting for me. Then I realized. Oh. Spam.

This is what is in each of those comments. According to Google Translate, this is Indonesian, and the words are convection (konveksi), jacket (jaket), sell/sale (jual), store (toko), and arrowroot (garut). I think they might be trying to sell me jackets.

Now for some traditional repetitive, unending spam. I like how everything is the same except those weird hashtags at the end. What are those about?

I feel like if I ever learn what this really refers to, I’ll never be able to look at chocolate or whip cream again.

Quick! Without confirmation, they can’t capitalize normally!

  1. Don't think too hard on the chocolate whip cream cover...

  2. Can't lose chocolate. That would be a travesty.

    I get that blog spam from time to time. I discovered the easy way to delete it is from the comments on the menu of Blogger. I can delete them in about the amount of time that they were posted.

  3. I expect there's a full explanation of chocolate whip cream cover over at Urban Dictionary.

    Don't look. I won't.

    It's the holidays. My spam folder is filling up by the hour.
