What does your Spam say about you?


08.12.07 Posted in Personal by jdmacor

Spam!I get spam comments; loads of them. In fact, I am overwhelmed with them. Sure, most of my comments are spam free (or I take care of that as soon as possible), but that is only because of the wonderful spam filtering that I have. I still get to look at the kind of spam I get. And you know what? I think that my spam is personal; they are like little messages about my soul. Now I am going to share with you how to truly read your spam.

What I have created here for you is a way to interpret your spam. Believe it or not, your spam knows you better than you know yourself! Consider this as a type of guide; you know, like the ones in the back of trashy supermarket tabloids.

Type of Spam

  • No Message

    Having a spam comment that doesn’t actually have any text shows that you are empty and alone. You always find yourself wanting more, but you can never find it.

  • Just a Link

    If your spam comment only has a link, then you are the type of person that likes everything fast and to the point. You like fast food, fast net connections and fast one night stands; man are you shallow.

  • Short Message with Spelling Errors

    This most common spam message signifies your wanting to spend time on the things in your life, yet you lack the will to completely follow through. Perhaps you are lazy or maybe just a little dumb.

  • Massive, Page Long Messages

    These behemoths are reserved for those with way too much time on their hands. You always went the extra mile; and then some. What a suck up…

Spam Keywords

  • Mortgage Refinancing

    There are money troubles in your future. You need to solve these cash problems soon, or else GoDaddy might sell off your domain!

  • Viagra

    Your love life is floundering. You need to re-spark the romance; or perhaps spark it for the first time ever. Either way, get out of the basement and into the light of day!

  • Ford Cars

    You are finding that getting around is becoming more and more difficult. Not even those fancy ergonomic chairs are helping. Soon you will actually become molded into your couch.

  • Help Feed Africans

    You are starting to put on some pounds and feel down about yourself. You are just eating too much! So much so, that you are affecting the world’s supply of food.

WARNING: This was only a joke. Please do not take me seriously. Ever. Should you need advice, consult a real spam reader…

  15. news bandit says:

    That is funny! Nice post.

  16. This is a hilarious post. But once I read it, I guess your spam may tell quite a bit about you! LOL It’s funny, I get different types of spam depending on which email account I use. Yahoo gives me different spam than Gmail! How does that happen? LOL

  17. D Web Design says:

    Thanks again for the joke.
    Have a nice day.

  18. I’ll rather not say a word.

  19. Mike Touch says:

    I don’t understand how people who post long comments are spamming?

    As long as the posts are long AND constructive then why should it matter?

  20. ssn says:

    Great spam identification :)

  21. Futon-Matt says:

    I seem to get a lot more spam since I’ve submitted my sites to search engines and directories.

  22. Free-hdtvs says:

    Lol this is funny. Though some of the things I sometimes get in my SPAM I really don’t think it says anything about me lol, or at least I hope not!

  23. Wii says:

    The funniest part is that if we use any of the words from the article, our comments will not get through the filters !

  24. “that is only because of the wonderful spam filtering that I have”

    But seems like you are not longer moderate all the comments here…

  25. yep, i think there’s no mod here for a long time now

  26. luz says:

    Spam for me are those writings with no depth and not associated with the topic.

  27. diziler says:

    thanks for share :)

  28. Solo ads says:

    Good joke. Too bad that the spammers will not read it. I wish I would see their face :-)

  29. And this blog now is already flooded by lot of spam message…

  30. yeah, the akai spam filter in wordpress catches just about everything on my blogs.

  31. Well, your mathematical captcha is quite simple to solve for robots these days. I would switch to some graphical captcha.

  32. ?ark? says:

    Rofl. In the land of seriousness this article is king. Nice Post!

  33. Cheap PS3 says:

  34. Cheap PS3 says:

    Lol! I love it, very good :o )

  35. actually if you look at the spam you can see what’s selling online

  36. xuxppxxuxyyy says:

    hello it is test. WinRAR provides the full RAR and ZIP file support, can decompress CAB, GZIP, ACE and other archive formats.

  37. In this case I think I need an Mensagens para Amigos, any tips for that? I don’t want to risk choosing the wrong thing for my ipod.

  38. used tires says:

    I really do hate spam, from my experience most of the spam is fairly obvious. Some comments are totally irrelevant to the post, and you can tell right away that it was just some run by BOT that left the comment :(

    Till then,

    Jean

    I tell you what…

    There is another type of spam coming around – search engine spam, just submitting your link in loads of comments to get boosted backlinks to your site!
