The proper use of Googlebait

Of the last 41 pieces of MT-related spam to come through, 40 of them have pointed to something called drugsb.com.

I mention this just in case you might be Googling about for information about this particular firm. And I have no such information, except to point out that someone working on their behalf has spammed me incessantly, and to note that if there were left on planet Earth only one dose of the one miracle drug that would save me, and that they had it and were offering to sell it to me for 49 cents, and that they would have Monica Bellucci in a towel deliver it to my door at no extra charge, I would still rather die.

"Googling about"? Sheesh.

"Where were you?"

"Oh, just doing some Googling about."

"Googling about what?"

It ain't "Who's on first," but then it ain't funny, either.

I was Googling about and found your reference. Evidently the site is registered in Russia, so chances are excellent that we'll be perpetually bombarded by this stuff. Yep - I've been hit too, and had to turn off comments on the post they linked to - and install a spam filter - and put up a black list.

...and they still keep sending stuff.

I wonder if it's this flaming shitheel.
