I’ve railed about spam here before. Spam is not just a squishy, pink meat-like substance in a can. It’s also an insidious, repugnant way to advertise shitty products. I’ve learned that companies who inundate your email and your blog with unwanted advertising generally have the crappiest products on the planet – products you wouldn’t purchase in a billion years, which is why they think it’s acceptable to piss on other people’s sites by plastering their ads all over them… regardless of whether or not the owner of the site wants them there.

First there was email.  These bottom-feeding pieces of fetid shit would bombard your email box with unwanted advertisements to the point where you had trouble managing your email traffic.  When recipients found a way to control it by blocking certain keywords and filtering certain words, they began to alter the words.  Hence the birth of the word “prOn.”

Then there were trackbacks.  I’ve banned well over 1000 IP addresses that have left me trackback spam on this site. They continue to do so, and I continue to ban them, and they continue to find new IP addresses.  Luckily my blogging platform has a damn nice spam filter, so I go in about once a week and eliminate the dregs in there.  These bags of smelly waste include advertisements for Viagara, Cialis, something called Soma and the ubiquitous pr0n.

Now the advertising assholes have found another way to try and get free ad space. They hire barely literate shitslurps to post comments on various sites – some that make sense, and others that don’t.  The comments appear to be relevant, but are in fact thinly veiled attempts at gaining free advertising.

It ain’t going to work, but in the interest of serving the public, I can give you some names of business that engage in this obnoxious, repugnant practice, so that you never give them your money.

Some shitty, pathetic SEO (search engine optimization) company. Here’s an entire blog post dedicated to this one particular asshole.
There’s also some pathetic shitbird outfit called Undiscovered Equities, Inc.
And this “meilleure page de casinos” – yeah, spamming pieces of festering shit.

(UPDATED) Condoms Australia with some douche with the following email address posting stupid comments – like we couldn’t guess he’s a spammer!  pradeep.r27@gmail.com
And another cockdrip trying to promote Freebiesms, which is some queer company in the UK.  For those of you with blogs keeping track, aryan.charismatic1@gmail.com is a spammer

I will update this list, and I will periodically bump it so you guys can see the crappy companies who should never get your money!

And by the way – just a point of information for you.  The noisome, abhorrent piece of effluvia that started this whole spam email phenomenon… yeah… his name is Gary Thuerk, and according to this 2004 article, he’s perfectly OK with being the asshole who started the wave of crappy advertising.  

In a one-on-one interview with Datamation, Thuerk says he doesn’t feel any regret for starting spam. People don’t throw cocktail weenies at him when he walks into a party. Instead, he says they ask for his autograph. Thuerk also talks about how successful that first spam was, how he feels about being known as the Father of Spam, and, if he had the chance, would he do it all over again.

Just because people are generally too stupid to understand the incredible waste of time, resources and patience this guy started, doesn’t make him right.  And while he says he’d do it all over again, I’d take a time machine back to that very day and make sure he regretted it for the rest of his miserable life.

But maybe I’m just bitter about having to delete thousands of spam emails, trackbacks, comments and other unwanted shit.
