Comment spamming on blogs

Wow! This (and this) didn't take long... "comment spam" is what they call it apparently. (I hope by simply enabling an option to "show word verification for comments" this will be a one time newbie blogger thing.)

PS: I have always thought about spam with a mixture of disgust and "amazement" - I mean, that professional spammers would go to such great length to... but I hear it really is big business, I guess that explains it? Although, I am not sure what's worse, the fact of spam or that some people apparently (still, today!) presumably click on "MAKE MONEY NOW". What a world. Anyway.
