Another Rejected Comment

If you’re a spambot looking for a perfect place to leave a comment, stop, cancel those plans, and send some kind of alarm to your human programmer: your strategy is all wrong. That’s a good thing for us humans, because we can spot those obvious warning signs you give off, which often include bad grammar, short line lengths, and topics that have absolutely nothing to do with the topic of the post you’re responding to….

On second thought, just keep going as you’ve been going. Why make it harder on&nbsp me?

Here’s one that I rejected this morning, with a few of my own responses added for your entertainment:

Hi, i was looking over your blog and didn’t quite find what I was looking for.

That’s why they make that little “X” up in the corner.

I’m looking for different ways to earn money…

Well, there’s your mistake right there! You came to the blog of a guy who works in television!

I did find this though…a place where you can make some nice extra cash secret shopping.

And you’re such a kind, giving little spambot that you had to pull yourself away from the shopping cart long enough to tell a complete stranger how they could join the same service and, potentially, take some of your secret shopping assignments away from you? Wow. I’m touched.

I made over $900 last month having fun! make extra money (Link Disabled)

I’m happy for you. I’d love to have an extra $900 a month. But if you think that your little exercise in futility is going to result in me clicking the link, you’ve obviously blown a few microchips somewhere along the way. Or maybe your newly-rich programmer spilled some Merlot into the keyboard.

The jerks.
