Best Blog Spam Yet

I particularly enjoyed this one; I had to admit that it is particularly well-crafted:

Hmm it looks like your blog ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum up what I submitted and say that I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.   I as well am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything. Do you have any helpful hints for newbie blog writers? I’d really appreciate it.

This is the best way I’ve seen yet to get around the semantic gap in blog spam: an automated process does not know how to specifically address the topic of a blog post by commenting intelligently. This spam comment outsources its own semantic credibility to a previous post, and then explains why that post is missing, and in an anecdotally accepted “true” circumstance. Everybody has had blog comments “eaten”. Even the phrasing helps, but the real beauty is the jedi mind trick of of simultaneously allaying your suspicion and pique-ing your interest (after all, who doesn’t want to read the extremely long comment on your own post?), while excusing the content’s own absence.

I tip my hat to you, Mr. Aboukirinanda Ndugu. Well done, sir! Unfortunately the HTML of your own blog link screaming about viagra and yeast cures gives your game away. The content of the comment, however, is 99% fool-me. And that’s rare.
