Spam fail

This blog has always attracted some spam. In the beginning it was small enough to delete by hand, but it has grown to the point that I installed a plugin called Akismet. It works fine, but since nobody has ever commented on any single article I wrote, it could be having a lot of false positives, or at the worst case it could simply mark every comment as spam. I just don’t know.

So I took a look at the spam messages, and I came across this small jewel:
{
{I have|I’ve} been {surfing|browsing} online more
than {three|3|2|4} hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
{It’s|It is} prety wortth enough for me. {In my opinion|Personally|In my view}, if all {webmasters|site owners|website owners|web owners} and bloggers made good
content as you did, the {internet|net|web} will be {much more|a lot more} useful than ever before.|
I {couldn’t|could not} {resist|refrain from} commenting.
{Very well|Perfectly|Well|Exceptionally well} written!|

Etc, etc… It goes on for another 25kB.

It seems like this spammer is even too stupid to correctly install his software. I don’t think a simple facepalm is going to cover this one. We’ll need a double facepalm!
