WTF Mate?!

I don't know if any of you out there noticed - or we're keeping track at all - but since about three o'clock this afternoon, I recieved 115 spam comments on my site.

115!!!


On a related note, does anyone remember Micheal Moore from before Bowling for Columbine? I'm talking when he had his original run on NBC with 'TV Nation'.

There was this great episode - I think it was the Valentine's Day special - where he went around Times Square and asked people what some of their biggest pet peeves were. People mentioned things like Musak in hotel hallways at 2am and repeated phone solicitations to name a few. Of course, what did Moore do? He got even.

He took a flatbed truck full of speakers, and, in the middle of the night, parked it out in front of the house where the man who invented Musak lived. The police were eventually called.

Then he got a few phone solicitors to call the man who 'invented' phone solicitation (or maybe it was just the president of one of those 'phone list' companies). And I mean, this was calling at every hour of the day and being the most badgering, inconsiderate phone solicitor possible.


Here's where I bring it back around . . .


Why for the love of all that is holy doesn't someone design a virus to take out the servers hosting these spam producers!?!? What, are these the same people that have repeatedly klezed my computer anyway? Are they all in league? Are they all running their spam servers from Macs? Why hasn't this happened yet?!!?

Horse-hockey!!

yeah. 117 for me. that calls for un-abbreviating "wtf." what the fuck. i mean, why bother pulling this shit? i can understand hacking the CIA or something, that's at least useful to somebody. you can make money off that. but i'm just a dork with a bunch of poems. and other webloggers are just other dorks with other dorky things. "oh man, we really got those dumbass bloggers! that'll show them to write things on the internet!" what a world.

I didn't count them, but I've been having similar problems. IP banning doesn't really help because they change their IP. It takes me about 20 minutes of my precious time to delete them all.
