Spambot of the day
Sexually- and otherwise-confused spambot:
It’s sad that todays production movies unregenerate the beauty movies had in earlier life. Although it’s fun to bonk ultra postgraduate school effects, I avoid the categorise that movies were prefabricated sanction then
Is right, this comment senses the undercall of cultural progresses the films. Thanks the sharing!
What utter gibberish these spambots write. Are they chimps at keyboards?
I have never asked but always wondered — what is spambot and why do they send them. What is the advantage to the sender?
Alix: they usually contain links (sometimes in the body of the message, but more often in the place where you can link to your website) to sites that are promoting something. The “something” that’s being promoted is by no means always connected to either the message of the spambot or the post it’s commenting on, although sometimes it is. The purpose is to get those links up there, and raise the spambot’s site’s standing in Google and search engines, and/or to get people to click on the link in the comment.
“Spambot” isn’t strictly the correct name for the phenomenon, but it’s close enough.
Okay, Dan D, ‘fess up, you’re ghostwriting this stuff!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets inarticulate gibberish in my spam box. My favorite thus far has been, “A contented beloved maturity is the favour of a well-spent youth. As a substitute for of its bringing glum and low prospects of decay, it would give us hopes of unchanged stripling in a less ill world.”
After a few glasses of shiraz it almost makes sense.
To: Neo neocon —
Thanks — now I understand!
Must’ve been written by a libtard deconstructionist professorial type.

I believe it’s not the most commonly referred to type of bot meant by “spambot” neo, but it’s definitely spamming — sending a message for the purpose of advertisement or promotion, unbidden by the recipient, usually also undesired (but not necessarily) outside the actual interest of the recipient. And, since it’s a bot, it’s a spambot, beyond all doubt.
It’s like referring to your non-commerical, personal, passenger van as “a car”. By some lights, it’s not a car, but, really, it is, when you consider what the overarching term “car” means in this context.
