Having recently fought of a rather nasty spam bot attack on a forum i run i must say i’ve had little tolerance for spam of any kind as of late but i have to say the most recent comment caught by Akismet has me amused. It was in Chinese with no links what so ever (so i’m not sure how Akismet did in fact catch it unless it just hates Chinese). The comment in its native tongue is as follows:
男人网从多个角度诠释男人时尚生活方式,从男士的健康到着装,到男士忠爱的奢侈品;从男士的烧钱的玩物到男士的性健康,做个有魅力的成功男士.
And being the curious person i am i had to send it through babel fish to see what i got and it was indeed worth the effort:
The man net annotates the man fashion life style from many angles, from gentleman’s health to clothing, to gentleman loyal love luxury goods; From gentleman’s fever money’s toys to gentleman’s natural health, make to have the charm successful gentleman.
My best guess is that they’re trying to sell clothing, maybe, or gentleman fevers? Oh i give up. Maybe a more apt title for this post would’ve been The Confusing Side of Spam. I’m still wondering what exactly a “man net” is…
