Comment Spam 2: Google Boogaloo

I found a new comment-spammer technique. I just deleted some comments from a bot that was obviously googling the first few words of the entry and using the excerpt from Google’s top response as the body of the comment. It’s to be presumed this was a lame effort at achieving the verisimilitude of relevance.

Though only four days old, my entry Free the Gecko 2: Linux Boogaloo is Google’s top response for that phrase (go figure,) and so the excerpt from Google was from that entry itself. Totally meta, man.

I need a better comment spam solution.

Cough, NewsBruiser, cough.
