Nihilist Spam

I gotta admit that the latest trend in comment spam isn’t bothering me for once. Until now, comment spammers have left messages like “Fun with underage fucksluts? Try V!AGR@” or “This post is well-written and entertaining. Join me and my friends at partypoker.com”., but my recent post “Stuck” has some of the funniest spam I’ve seen yet :

Not much on my mind. I don’t care. I’ve just been letting everything happen without me , but shrug. Whatever. I feel like a void.
. . .
I haven’t been up to anything today. I can’t be bothered with anything recently. Nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven’t gotten anything done recently, but oh well. Not much noteworthy going on worth mentioning.
. . .
My mind is like a bunch of nothing, but I guess it doesn’t bother me. I haven’t been up to anything recently. I’ve pretty much been doing nothing to speak of.
. . .
Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. I haven’t been up to much these days. I just don’t have much to say right now. I can’t be bothered with anything , but whatever.

I love the idea that some spammer decided to write a bot to write random, angsty prose. But whatever. Why should I even bother with writing this stuff? I feel like a void.

  1. The great part is that all of those are for phetermine, right? Isn’t that the drug that’s supposed to make you not feel any highs or lows?

    I gave up on taking it because it was cheaper and more effective to just watch reruns of “Family Matters.”

  2. Eh, who cares?

  3. That all sounds vaguely familiar - I think I’ve seen this before, and it comes from some sort of automatic generator of blog entries you can use if you don’t have anything to say that day. I’ll be darned if I can remember who did it originally, though — Brunching Shuttlecocks? Modern Humorist? Someone like that.
