Spammers are weasels. They will try to spam every web application they can, and of course this blog is no exception. Usually, it’s something about Viagra or gambling, but lately they have been leaving rather lame and somewhat amusing jokes along with the spam content. Why not take a moment for a chuckle. For you, dear reader, I present the best of moderated comment spam jokes!

• How do you revive a drowning rodent?  Give it mouse-to-mouse resuscitation.
• What do you call cheese that isn’t yours?  Nacho cheese.  <– my personal favorite :)
• How would you clean a tuba?  Try a tuba toothpaste.
• What kind of flowers grow in outer space?  Sunflowers.
• What is the difference between a prizefighter and a man with a cold?  One knows his blows, and the other blows his nose!
• What do sea monsters eat for lunch?  Fish and ships.

Enjoy your day.

I recently started getting spammed by Incredimail.  I’m not going to give them the courtesy of a link here, but Incredimail is one of those useless (to me) applications that is supposed to make e-mail “fun” by junking it up with a bunch of graphics. I prefer my e-mail plain-text, thanks.

The interesting part is that they are spamming an e-mail address I have only used to provide my parents help with their computer. When I setup Remote Assistance for them, I used an address very distinct and which I have never used anywhere else.

It seems that they harvested the “to” address and decided I needed some of their useless junk, despite not so much as an unsolicited “invitation” (which would still be spam) to receive their newsletters.

Spam is spam, whether it comes from some guy in Elbonia hawking Viagara or from some supposed legitimate company. Don’t do business with spammers. Don’t use Incredimail.
