SPAMMERS: Shoulder meat's too good for 'em.


  1. I find it amusing that the WSB — of all places — would be targeted by purveyors of Christian kitsch.

    It's like the SPAMMERS' bot is sniffing out all thread references to "God" or "Christ" (regardless of how unfavorable) and going:

    Aha! These folks must be dying to purchase boxes of glow-in-the-dark crucifixes at deep discounts.

    Actually, I thought the first Christian SPAM was kind of funny. Remember? The pitch line was: "Job Opportunities for Christian Fundamentalist Women." —But when you clicked on the link, the only jobs available were in the work-at-home category.

    Ha! At first I thought it was some kind of joke.

    Attention Christian Women!
    Do Not Panic
    Remain in Your Homes
    Continue Working . . .

    But now I see that they are serious. (And seriously irritating as well.)

    At this time I'm going to call in some favors with God and ask that He turn over the Christian SPAMMER to us. But my question to the Blog community is this: When we get our hands on this guy, what torments shall be subject him to?

    — Shall we force-feed him actual cans of SPAM until he croaks, for example?

    — Shall we make him the Honorary Grand Marshall for the next Pride Day Parade?

    — Perhaps we should assign him to write an essay on the Miracle of the Black Velvet.

    Anyway, those are just a few ideas to get you started . . .

    Have you noticed that Elvis has a wider glowing aura around him? Coincidence? I think not.

  4. DP - It could be my fault for posting in the forums about the community Feldenkrais clinic awhile back.
    Whenever I do the voice search on my smartphone for 'Feldenkrais' it comes back as 'felled in christ'...
    Oy vey!

  6. Thanks for your informative link, Ken. It's amazing to see what a slick video one can make using nothing more than a corncob, a novelty balloon, and a couple of squiggly yellow lines!

    Though I'm neither Catholic nor Rhythmic, I believe that Catholics have something called the "Rhythmic Rapture Method" to ensure that none of their particulars go missing during the Rapture.*

    The Rhythmic Rapture Method (or RRM for short) allows the Faithful to use certain forms of mechanical birth control for periods of up to three days prior to, or three days following, the Rapture.

    Many Catholic couples have reported great satisfaction with RRM. Unfortunately, the RRM is only about 5% effective at preventing Rapture. In fact, some couples claim that this particular method actually encourages it.

    *In the theological terms, this is known as aproctogenesis.

    et tu, DP?

  8. Anyone who buys a messiah for 30 pieces of silver is breaking DP's Business Rule #1:

              NEVER PAY RETAIL!!

  9. Man, you guys go and alienate the religious spammers and so today we get sex and drugs. Perhaps rock 'n' roll will be next.

    On a serious note, I have a few things to try to eradicate all this but I have to wait until very early tomorrow when if traffic is usual (barring breaking news) there'll be few online if something goes awry. So once again, I thank you all for your patience.

  13. IP always varies. Of course, that's not difficult.

  14. I suspect it is targeted. google does not find the keywords I have tried that usually find other spam reports on the net. Did you find any other forums getting the same spam series?

  15. hysterical, it's baseball spam now while I'm sitting in the press box at a football game. Just a couple more hours till I can fiddle around in the inner workings to see if we can stop the insanity.

    i'm not sure i can find my way to usenet these days, but news.admin.net-abuse.email used to have the lowdown on all the latest email spam trends, and those guys could usually track down anyone.
