Yes, it’s hard to believe – probably because most of us don’t want to believe it – but Pumpkin Spice Spam is real and will be available for purchase starting September 23, 2019. *shudder*
Yeah, I don’t get it either. All I can come up with is that Hormel decided that the Haole girls in Hawaii are an untapped market … Somehow, however, I do not think Chai-Hulud will approve.

Spam, it’s a fact of life in this digitally connected age. All of us online – in just about any fashion – have to deal with it. It’s in our email and even in our cellphones these days and, if we run blogs, it’s in our comments.
While most of the spam in email and text messages is “mass mailings” or a phishing / malware attacks, that in our blog comments is normally an attempt at “Black Hat SEO.”
Blog comment spam has gotten a lot more sophisticated recently, with spammers crafting the “comments” to fit keywords on blogs in order to make them actually look relevant and less “spammy.” This has led to some funny results such as the spam comment shown below.
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i personal a similar one and i was just wondering should you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can advise? I get so much recently it’s driving me mad so any assistance is very much appreciated.
The irony and/or sarcasm and sheer chutzpah of this particular piece of blog spam was so funny to me that, when I checked my spam filter for false-positives, I almost approved the comment out of appreciation for the laughs it gave me – almost.
Unexpected Consequences Of Spammer Sophistication Are Possible
I wonder if things will inadvertently come to what XKCD jokes about. Could improved spambot AI’s actually supplant human comments? 😉
