Come Monday...Some Things I Don't Understand

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is subject to change, however. In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be good—right? Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

It is fairly familiar topic here. For I have mentioned something or another about it several times, but since I am yet to receive an answer that brings it all home for me—here I go again.

Oh yeah, I suppose it would be helpful to explain that what I am talking about is spam comments—especially in regards to the ones that are left on older (sometimes practically ancient) posts. For I don’t understand what is to gain by leaving a comment on a post that is far less likely to be seen than others.

Okay, if you must know, what triggered this was 日月神教-任我行 leaving no less than 13 comments on no less than 13 posts here within a matter of minutes yesterday morning, with most of them being on posts from a year or more ago. If you are not familiar with日月神教-任我行, neither am I, but the comments that were left were for a Chinese detective agency, which came as a great disappointment quite a surprise to me. For I fully expected it to be links to various porn sites.

So, what is the purpose for this? I would think that a detective agency would realize that trying to advertise in a place where few are going to see it would not be the best way to draw attention to their business.

Could it be that this is a case of where someone is getting paid to place links here, there and everywhere, and they are placing them in places where the owners of the sites might not see them in the hope of the links still being up when whoever is paying them goes to confirm placement ? After all, if I was not set-up to receive email notifications of comments, it would be highly unlikely for me to see a spam comment that had been recently left on a post from over 2 years ago.

Come on now, somebody has to know something. SPILL IT! (Please?)

Stumbling along in the same land of confusion, my wife and I have received several inquiries from an outfit that claims to buy ugly houses. Perhaps you have seen one of their television ads? They are out there—be assured.

Yes, I understand self-depreciating humor. In fact, I make fun of myself all of the time (sometimes even intentionally), but I don’t understand how a complete stranger can expect me to want to do business with them when they are calling my house ugly!

Nothing personal? Perhaps? For it was a mailer that we have received from them, but that would still mean that we have been placed on some ugly house list—right? How did that happen? No, we have not been talking to anyone about possibly selling, and we do not plan on doing so for a long, long time—maybe never!

To end on a high note, I would like to express my great love and appreciation for one of the baddest (in a good way) gals there is, Mama ASID of [BadGals Radio], [Entrepod] and [Recycled Frockery] fame and fortune. For she has been sent into my life to help remind me of just how good and gracious our Heavenly Father truly is, and you would do well to listen carefully to EVERYTHING she says. Granted “she” gets a little carried away at times, but for the most part, you are actually hearing Him speak through her on a number of topics.
