ok this is a little terrifying

...not "life and death" terrifying, more like "viral marketing permeates every pore of my being" kind of terrifying.

I got a spam as a comment on a blog post (try explaing that sentence to someone living in 1984). The comment is readable on the post right before this one. It's for chronic back pain or something. I mean, what the hell?

is this a joke? It's not even content-related, for the love of Pete. Is everyone who reads my blog (all 20 of them) secretly waiting for the right time to jump in and sell me a bottle of Cialis (taladafil)? I challenge you to reveal yerselves.

They are the newest and lowest form of internet life. I have no doubt that they were spawned from the very sewage filled waters of New orleans.

I'm just surprised that that was the first time you ever got a comment-spam. The phenomenon has been around for a while. It was probably posted by a script that goes around looking for blogs and spamming them, all automatically without human involvement.
