The latest in comment spam, apparently aimed at posting links back to some site, and thus increasing that site’s search engine ranking. The only purpose of the text is to pass any automated spam filter, and to pass any cursory inspection by a human being who’s checking the comments, either the published ones or the filtered out ones:
Oh my god you’ll not belief this. My silly kitty actually farted on my arm!? I mean what’s the matter with this!? I feed this thing and I get this in exchange. I yet will not belief that. Anyways, you have got several interesting facts there in your post. I knew Google will take me to some fascinating stuff today :). Ok have to hunt this creature now! Have a nice evening you all!

Cat-fart spam is all the rage among the cool spammers.

We do have a cat who suffers from flatulence. We are not amused.

If you feed a cat spam, the consequences are totally on your own head –or arm, as the case may be.
(Somewhere in all this there’s a joke to be made about Due Process, or maybe Equal Protection, but it taxes my meager abilities to bring it on home…)

Won’t the rel=”nofollow” automatically added to all the links prevent it from adding to search engine rankings anyway?

I can’t speak for cats, but my dogs like to plop down on the floor next to me and the computer and I live in a cloud of flatulence. But they are good dogs generally.

Indeed. I once had a cat who had been liberally doused with perfume (don’t ask) and fed a can of tuna-flavored cat food hop onto my lap, breathe fish at me, wipe his scented flank across my nose and, presenting his backside, fart. The combination was memorable.

This isn’t cat fart spam, but I just wanted to say how much I like my Android phone and this really great app for Android.
Oh, and read the following legal disclaimer if you decide to download and use that app:
Might there be a 2nd amendment violation “where not allowed to use”?

Dang, did you really need to delete the Big Cat Rescue link too?

This is why i have three standing rules that I explain to all my cats –
Be happy
Be healthy
Don’t stand there with your butt in my face
EV – I hope Orin doesn’t delete your post and ban you :-)

This example is pretty funny, but it does highlight now bad things have become for email. I was just running some reports for a company this week and 95% of all the email to hit the gatway was spam (or viruses). The total number is of course higher, since some spam managed to slip through the number is probably even higher (our false positive rate is extremely small.) I think this is in large part why so many people have abandoned email and are using twitter and other systems to communicate.

I just do not get this. Our college system regularly allows all kinds of spam into my work email. The fact that most of it is for men who need meds does not help.

As I own a bunch of domains, and have had the same main email addy for 10 + years, I get between 500 – 1000 spams a day, on average.
I use POBOX.COM, with various filtering set up there, and on average, ZERO of those spams get through to me on a given day, and typically there are one or two ‘false positives’ a week, which are held for me in a special folder on their server ( separate from the thousands of spams, whcih are dispensed with automatically ) which I can check, and release those I choose, ad ‘white list’ them.
I HIGHLY recommend them. FOr like $ 15 / year ( or whatever ), you get multiple addy’s , and GREAT server-side filtering.

Fortunately I’ve never come across a cat with flatulence.
