The true spirit of Christmas

I don't have much to say today, and most of you won't be reading blogs anyway, so I'll confine my thoughts to those wonderful people who just keep on giving, and giving, and giving. Yes, I'm talking about those great folks who set up 'bots to post spam comments and trackback links on blogs like this one. I've had a huge upsurge in such items in the last few days, so they're much on my mind.

However, in the true spirit of Christmas, I'm not wishing their authors dead and dismembered by dingo packs. I'm charitable, possibly even filled with that elusive "goodwill to all men" thing. I think having them suspended upside-down in a barrel full of fire-ants would be a suitable reward, actually.

And seasonal greetings to everyone who doesn't post spam!

Isn't that cruel to the fire-ants? The FACKU (Fire Ant Committee on Kindness and Understanding)are going to go nuts! All those poor wee fire ants being forced to bite some greasy pimply faced spammer who has not bathed for a month. The spammers deserve a worse death than that. Even on Christmas. Now leeches and giant biting spiders. Now we're talkin'. Posted by: Da Wife at December 27, 2006 02:08 PM
Nah. Throw the spammers to the technical writers. There ain't no PETA for tech writers. Posted by: Jon at December 27, 2006 04:27 PM

Somehow, they seem to have been omitted from the provisions of the Geneva Convention, too. Posted by: Nicholas at December 27, 2006 09:37 PM

I've always wondered about that. Considering that we're clearly identifiable, what with the fruity uniforms and all, you'd think we qualify. Posted by: Jon at December 27, 2006 11:10 PM
