A flurry of comment spam attacks on weblogs across the Internet over the past several weeks has experts, based on its content, pointing the finger at Apple.
Research conducted by Crazy Apple Rumor Site Labs (a division of Giant Squid Productions, all rights reserved, available for parties, bar mitzvahs and wakes) indicates that Apple is intent on driving traffic to its web site through any means necessary. The practice of dumping spam comments on unsuspecting weblogs in an attempt to improve one’s standing in search engines is highly repudiated. Indeed, Apple has declined to take responsibility for the comment attack, but the content indicates otherwise, as the following examples show.
- Great post! Those who would like to see pictures of Phil Schiller playing hockey should go to www.apple.com! It’s hot – or cold, rather (HA-HA!) – Schiller action! And buy a G5 with an AppleCare plan while you’re there!
- Do you like to play Texas hold ’em? Well, then, you should try playing it on a Mac. Texas hold ’em is much more enjoyable on a Macintosh from Apple Computer (www.apple.com). Or so I’m told. Actually, I don’t really know what Texas hold ’em is. But Macs…
- Click here (www.apple.com) for hot mamas who like wild action with… er… well, really, there are no hot mamas. But you might be interested in buying a Mac. Or an iPod. And, if you like to think about hot mamas while you do it, that’s up to you. We won’t judge you.
- In your free time, please visit www.apple.com. Please? C’mon. Just… just click once. You know you want to. C’mon. Please? Just… click. Right there. Go on. Moooove your cursor…
- Do you like hot bitches who are so dirty that they will do anything? Bitches who are horny all day and all night and can never get enough hot, hot action? Well, good for you. Now, please go to www.apple.com.
- Look, I hate to be a pest about this, but if you’d just click the damn link then we could all get on with our lives and forget this ever happened…
This unpleasant marketing tactic has put Mac-friendly bloggers in an uncomfortable position – caught between a company and product they love and a practice they deplore.
“Right now I’m leaning toward deploring,” said blogger and Mac user Dori Smith.
Pausing for a moment she added “And now I’m enthusiastic about the Mac again.
“It’s been like this all afternoon.”
When reached, Apple refused to comment, other than issuing an additional 1.5 million spam comment entries across the Internet.
First
And I read the article first.
I hope Apple doesn’t spam CARS with hot lesbian sexbot action ads.
I’d hate that.
Really.
Yeah, god forbid they let some links to free cupons loose.
Where do I sign up? I want to be blogged…or spammed…or whatever. Just so long as they serve Yukon Jack!
If you like computers, and fruit, then you want to go to http://www.apple.com for the wildest computer fruit action. And we’re not talking oranges here, if you know what I mean. So click that link and get your fruit on!
I just found out that the Comment counter at the bottom of the article is wrong. It is one less than it should be.
Actually, a lot less….is that important?
Damn you PSchiller. You stole my obvious post idea.
Oh well, congrats to Garnack for the trifecta. Way to go! Big plans tonight I’ll bet? I know I’d get totally ripped.
You don’t have a postbot by any chance?
revolution number 9… and i got a spam comment in my blog saying something about sex-bots and visitng http://www.crazyapplerumors.com
i wonder what that could be
I was told to check out today’s post because it mentioned hot mamas, horny bitches, AND me!
Oh.
Actually, the bipolar bit is a fairly common occurrence. Yesterday it was about what to have for lunch. Today, Apple comment spam. Tomorrow, who knows?
i do that all of the time on sites for my site, http://mypersonalgetaway.com

What Burglars Don’t Want You To Know…
Apple Laptops can call home if stolen and the police pay more attention when an “expensive” Apple Macintosh is stolen than some cheap old PC. Buy a Powerbook 15″ and laugh at thieves.
I just got thousands of comment spams on my blog. Bummer. All for Texas Hold ‘Em Poker. No, I’m not going to list a URL here.

Hey, people. Do you think I am annoying? Do you wish me dead? If so click my name to see the cool program I made called “101 ways to kill me.” It is great fun and even if you don’t want to kill me, you can still check it out to appreciate all the hard work that went into it. So, go for it, give me the beating of a life time.
“It’s a sad day when we now have to hate John Moltz. Ooh, it’s Mr. Big Shot Writer:
Yep. I’m happy to announce that I’ve got a paying gig writing for Macworld magazine.
Posted by Dori Smith at 05:45 PM”
For some reason this hurts me deep down inside. How could you say such a thing?
Don’t worry Mr. Moltz Sir, when I am rich and famous (mainly rich) I will pay you and each of your crew $1000 an article.

But did you notice? Of course not! It was always Spam.
No postbots here Streetrabbit. Just pure posting skill. And, yes, I did have big plans for last night but when I got first post I knew nothing could top that for the evening so I stayed home and went to bed.
