Googlebomb Spam Attack

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

  3. At least I made friend with the last spammer who tried to attack me.

    “Commie” is a bit threadbare unless it’s used ironically. Certainly you do qualify for a “pinko” site.

    BTW - drop me a line I have a stealth counter meme I’m working on that’s only being made available to the commies I know.

    Google Bombing???

    You know what I said recently about never knowing what you might find around the next corner? I kept wondering about a random comment, that I didn’t understand, made by somebody I didn’t know. So I went exploring and I…
