My favorite spam of the day

Mostly, my spam filter works pretty well, but some days small groups of them sneak through. I got four of them back-to-back this morning.

I get a kick out of the way these bots try so hard to produce comments that sound real, but still fall so short of their goal. Here’s my favorite today:

I’ve been browsing on-line more than three hours lately, yet I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It is beautiful price enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did, the internet will probably be a lot more useful than ever before.

I love this part: “…if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you probably did….” It doesn’t want to go too far and commit itself…

It is beautiful price enough for me, too.

    It seems that someone has succeeded in writing an algorithm that mimics a sense of humor. “Probably.” (Actually, there is an alternative explanation, which is that it was written by a human whose first, second and third languages are something other than English. In which case it’s mean of me to laugh. So I prefer to think of it as a bot.)

    It’s just gloriously goofy.
