Looks like someone’s come up with a new, not-really-all-that-clever use for comment spam: using it to attempt to Googlebomb someone that they’re ticked off at.

The following showed up in my inbox three times, with three different IP addresses:

IP Address: 202.175.26.151
Name: Whiny Communist Bitch
Email Address: commie@mamamusings.net
URL: http://www.mamamusings.net

Comment: I just can’t shut my pie hole.

p>Normally, that’d be a sure sign of the standard comment spam, but I was pretty sure that mamamusings.net was another weblogger, so I headed over to be sure, and to give her the details.

Turns out that she already knows, which is good.

Heartening to know we can all be so mature, isn’t it? Didn’t “commie” go out of vogue as an insult a couple decades ago, anyway?

iTunes “Honey” by Amos, Tori from the album More Pink - The B-Sides (1994, 3:49).
