I don’t know how I feel about a free HD movie site spamming other sites with my posts. This one kind of bugs me.

Interesting blog post – thanks. I felt your blog is truly fascinating. I would like to uncover more in the near future.

The only reason this is a winner is because it’s one of those messages, especially given the post on which it appeared, that really makes you wonder if it truly is spam or someone legitimately commenting on your blog. The only reason I knew it wasn’t was because it’s obviously connected to someplace selling watches (and what’s also interesting is it’s called “watchwhich.” At least make it more intelligent and clever and call it “watchwitch.”

Everybody hates Spam—it fills up your Inbox (unless you’ve got G-mail, which does a great job of putting it in an appropriately-labeled folder), clogs your blog (WordPress does a great job filtering, too), and can threaten your computer’s security.

I have to say though, I love my Spam. It cracks me up—it’s poorly spelled, illiterate, and often leaves me wondering who would be dumb enough to click on the link for whatever product/service/lottery winning from mysterious relative in a country you’ve never heard of. So I decided in 2012 I’d go through my Spam each week and pick my favorites to share with the world. I remove the sender and any links that might be damaging (plus, who wants to give them press?).

See you next week! If you get any great Spam, you can post it here, just strip any links and the sender’s e-mail. And be sure to say something in the post to let me know you’re real. Otherwise I might think you’re…well, Spam.
