Alternate title: Proof That I Do Not Own a Tablet.

Other than that, I’d say this speaks for itself.

Fun With Spam: Microspam Network

Another time, another Fun With Spam! This week there’s veiled insults and slimy journalism afoot, and I even get to do a little detective work! Time’s a-wasting and turkey’s a-basting, so let’s get on with it, my friends!

In response to Fun With Spam: Nazi Missouri, myp2p golf streaming says…

“Found this on MSN and I’m glad I did. Interesting article.”

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I was on MSN? Like, for reals? Me? On MSN?

…What the hell does MSN think they’re doing talking about my blog without my permission? I’ve got rights, people! Least you could do is ask for a statement from me so I can tell you to shove off and mind your own beelzebubwax!

Wait, what post was this comment on? Craaaaap, the nazi one. This.. kinda all makes sense now. Um… MSN, don’t shove off, and there’s a perfectly good explanation for that whole post! I swear! Don’t take me off Bing! I love you guys!

In response to Spiffy New Front Page!, TomDavidson says…

“This is definitely what I was searching for. Thanks for the article. By the way, other posts are not so useful. Please don’t be offended, just try to keep quality at this level

Tom Davidson”

Don’t be offended? Did you just say that? Did you really just tell me not to be offended by the fact that the new front page of my blog is apparently better than anything else I have ever posted here? The Frog Saga? Musical Parades? Chicken and Frog? Even Fun With Spam!?

Come to think of it, he’s probably not even talking about the front page itself. He’s just talking about my post describing the front page! Really, Tom? That’s what you find useful? Well then shove off, man! Shove! Off!

MSN, you didn’t see that.

Now, most people would see something like this as mindless nonsense. This is furthered by the fact that in the actual comment, everything you see here was linked to some weird websites full of pop-ups and crap. But I disagree, my readers! Why, I couldn’t disagree more!

You see, having scanned these sites for hours on end, I’ve discovered a code of sorts. This seemingly nonsensical spam post actually does have a meaning! A meaning I am pleased to announce to the public for the first time! Ahem…

“Half off pharmaceutical products”.

It all makes sense now.

And so that wraps up another edition of Fun With Spam! See you next time when I’ll build a fort made entirely out of- Huh? What’s this? I’ve got another comment in my spam queue…

In response to Fun With Spam: Microspam Network, MSN says…
