At least the sp*m is entertaining...

Lately I've been getting a ton of wordpress comment spam. I should probably update that blog to the latest version, but I almost don't want to.

It seems someone has taken to providing corny jokes in their spam. Is it still spam if you laugh?

Here are some samples...

Quote:

Why are cowboy hats turned up at the sides? So three cowboys can ride in a pickup truck.

Did you hear about the dentist who married a manicurist? They fight tooth and nail!

Would a fly without wings be called a walk?

Weird, but amusing.

Anyone else getting these comments?

Nope.. And I don't think these jokes are that entertaining after all. :\

Yeah actually I'm getting them a lot, and theyre passing through Akismet

I honestly dont want them on my blogs. I banned the IPs that they were coming from, so hopefully that slows them down for a bit.

Hmmm, are you updated to the latest version of wordpress?

It's odd because not all of my blogs are getting this. Mostly one over the others.
