Spam You! Oh Spammitt, Don't Spam with me, Go Spam Yourself. These are my new cuss words.
I've complained before in this blog a few months back but things are even worse now!

Get ready to cue the Monty Python Spam Song

It's bad enough that the spam content of my inbox has jumped from dozens to hundreds. Now my blog is getting hit with " Spam-ments". Spam-ments is what I am calling Spam in the form of comments on blogs.
For example, recently Kenny Surtani left a message on Sign-in Saturday. He starts out by saying "Have you ever realized that when you buy readymade suits you get a choice of only a few colors & styles, also finding the perfect fit are quite difficult? Wouldn’t it be better to choose from over 2000 different British & Italian fabrics and get a tailor made suit at a similar price that you pay for readymade suits?" This spam-fo-mercial goes on for 5 paragraphs with a link to his website. I did not approve this "shout-out" so you will not see it on my blog. I rather look like a loser with no comments than ones like these.

I would hope most people are smart enough to see through these comments and self-promotions. I wonder if spam-ments ever work. How many people would buy a suit from Kenny by finding him in the comment section on a blog? Would you do your shopping this way?
If so, I know where you can get the latest diet and ED drugs, erase your credit card debt and get great replica watches!!! Spamwich anyone?

You sound a bit bitter. As a late in life Mom, I totally can relate to the bitter taste of Spam stuck in my craw!
