I have to give credit to spammers, occasionally they display creativity I thought impossible from people with such atrocious grammar. For amusement I sometimes take a gander at the spam comments this blog receives. This latest batch cleverly takes into account the title of the post.

Changing unitys boilerplate script code.. Slap-up

Slap-up indeed. If the comment didn’t link to a site advertising toaster ovens, I’d be tempted to approve it to show my appreciation of the excellent word choice. Ditto for this one:

Cutscene editor on github.. Corking

Do senior citizens read my blog now? Here’s another one I enjoyed:

Your webpage appears to be excellent. Possess a decent morning.

Possessing a decent morning sounds much more fulfilling than simply having one. Some spam comments though don’t quite hit the mark, like this one in response to a post about Unity coroutines:

Thanks for taking the time to talk about this, I feel fervently about this and I get pleasure from learning about this topic. [...] I have found it very helpful. There’ve to become charging stations everywhere.

I’m flattered that a topic as mundane as coroutines can be so enthralling. That last sentence about charging stations is cryptic though. How many blog posts could such a sentence apply to? The believability of the comment would be much higher if only that bit was omitted. And if it didn’t link to a shady site selling organ-engorging medications.

Now, here’s a pro tip for spammers. Some of your comments are genuinely convincing. If they weren’t flagged for review by Akismet, I’d have difficulty determining their legitimacy. The URLs supplied in the homepage field are a dead giveaway of your true intentions though. If they contain terms related to pornography, or credit cards, or cheap jewellery, it’s a strong hint that you don’t actually feel fervently about the articles I write.

The written word pales in comparison to what can be expressed using construction paper. — F. Scott Fitzgerald

One of my first assignments at Vancouver Film School was to tell a short story using a series of images, limiting the use of narration. This could be done using drawings or photographs or any other visual medium. I chose to tell my tale using characters cut from construction paper. Each “shot” was taped to the wall then photographed. It was tedious compared to using something like Photoshop and that newfangled cut ‘n paste I hear so much about, but the end result was decidedly worth it.
