Will someone please tell me what the spammers are getting when they leave comments on blogs? I am quite curious, because I just don't understand why various users leave comments that say helpful things like, "Use a book as a bee does flowers," followed by an ominous-looking link. (It looks like this, in link form: .......................) Normally I would gladly click on the link, just to find out what in the world that comment even means. (Use a book as a bee does flowers? I get what they're trying to say, but it just isn't working for me.) But, in this case, I'm too afraid that I'll stumble upon something that might burn my retinas. Old men doing straddle stretches in speedos, anyone?
Even better are the comments with nothing but Asian characters and that same ominous-looking link. Like anyone's going to be fooled with your trickery, Asian Spammer. (What would you call an Asian Spammer, anyway? A Spamming Asian? A Spasian?) It's not like I'm going to see your comment and say, "Ooh! It must be my long lost friend from Japan or Korea or China or whatever language that is. I should check in with them!"
Nope. Not fooled.
So remember, everyone: Use Spam as a person would use meat. ...........................
Peace out, my dears. I'm off to Disneyworld, and then the beach. SUCKAS!! Mwahahahahaha! *During her fit of evil laughing, Jules chokes and coughs. She gets her comeuppance.*

I've got those same spammers leaving comments on my blog! I want my brothers to look at them and tell me what the asian characters say. Between my dad (japanese) my brother austin (korean) and my brother adam (chinese) I'm hoping they can figure it out...
You're sick, Jules. Sick sick sick.
In other news, you can adjust your blog settings to include word verification, so there has to be a real person making the comment, or enable comment moderation, so nobody comments without you seeing it first. Those are good ways to keep out the spam without needing to make the blog private.
Use comeuppance like a nerd tapes his glasses?
I don't know what that means. And yes, Crystal's suggestion is the correct one. Comment moderation is where it is at. It being coolness. Coolness meaning being an awesome blogger like me.
K, bye.
