Spambot of the day — 7 Comments

  1. You know, you wouldn’t mind the spambots if they keep bringing you poetry like that.

  2. I don’t think it’s a bot.

    It sounds too much like something Kamala Harris would say.
    It has the essential characteristic of a Kamala utterance; it’s an incomprehensible word salad.
    But then again, maybe in a few years this Kamala “bot” will make sense when one considers “the significance of the passage of time.”

  3. I understand the bot’s elegantly posed observation, which contains some truth. It ain’t a word salad.

  4. When is a bot a bot? What is a bot besides an email msg that’s not meeting approval, so its poster becomes just a dirty name ?

  5. CICERO:

    The bots I put up here are not email messages – they are comments on the blog, or rather would-be comments. They get trapped by the spam filter for the most part. But their defining characteristics are that they are placed on old, dead threads (often many years old), their content has zero to do with the thread, and they are essentially advertisements of various kinds. Sometimes the content of the comment is itself the advertisement. But with others, such as this one, the advertisement consists of the fact that the “website” part of the comment is filled out and constitutes a link to some business, sometimes a porn site but often some other business.
