We need your #help ..Isabella is currently rated #2, help us to get her to the #1 position in the #baby #contest: http://bit.ly/dtdxUW

And I don’t mean the food (which is, by the way, very popular here in Hawaii), but the kind of junk you find in your mailbox sometimes.

It is a bit quiet lately, not much things happened lately for me to write about, so I will write about something else now, something not directly related to our family

Since our comments are spam free (for as far as I know), you wouldn’t think so, but our site does see its share of spam. Fortunately a great spam security on our site (Akismet) is blocking it all and we hardly have to look at it. The spam hardly comes into the open. But from time to time, I look through (before I delete it) the catched spam (just in case something is there which is no spam at all, which hardly happens) and then I can often laugh about the comments that I find in the spambox.

I will show you a couple, without giving the links to the sites they spam for (otherwise they still got what they want), I will replace these links with stars (*). This to show you what kind of nonsense can be found. It is sometimes also a bit like they think that compliments help in order to get their spam shown on the site, but fortunately the spam security blocks all of it.

Here they are:

I was searching for fifa worldcup 2010 tickets and found your blog via google.But I would say that I became fan of yours in few mins after reading interesting facts about my favourite game.

This was a comment to my post in which I wrote about the new rules of the Dutch passports. I have no idea what this has to do with soccer.

great to see your site is loading ok today, when your site didn’t work yesterday I thought something terrible might have happenend. Travel Deals to Oahu

Of course he thought that.. that is if these messages were not automatically posted by some bot, or are done by some cheap labor from Asia who spams for 10 bucks a day.. The email and IP addresses are also often fake.

This is an spectacular entry. Thank you very much for the supreme post provided! I was looking for this entry for a long time, but I wasn’t able to find a authentic source.

I thought this was a fun one, it was meant for a post in which only two lines were written and what showed about 6 pictures of Isabella. Yep, that sure was a spectacular entry and a supreme post, I can imagine that this spammer was looking for quite some time for this.

I usually agree with the posts on this blog, but in this instance I ought to say that I do not agree with this.

Also fun when you think about the fact that this comment was originally posted under the weekly Twitter updates, something you don’t have to agree or disagree with haha.

And ok, one more to end it with:

Hi, it looks like your site

No sh*t Sherlock.. maybe because it is our site?

You can see it yourself, many of these messages are just the biggest nonsense you can think of. It is funny to go through them from time to time.. all the things you see, and it never makes any sense.

Fortunately Akismet is a great spam security (and no, I am not trying to sell anything haha). I can only say to all the spammers who read this: Just stop already, it is a waste of time… and if not, well, guess I can have a few more laughs
