Rich over at Basement.org has posted some sample comment spam he's been seeing lately that's all about the commenters being depressed.  There aren't even links to spam sites in many of the comments.  He says there needs to be a Cry for Help comment spam plug-in.  Make sense to me.  Anyone else see the recent spate of magical-gibberish comments without links? 

This might sound like a silly thing to post here about, but mark my words - this is going to get a write up in Wired by the end of this year ("Millions of depressed young people send anonymous messages into the conversation that is the blogosphere with a nihilistic apathy about context or purpose").  Or at least some print publication.  I think it warrants a Wired vocab-term...but what will it be called?  Sobspamming, emospamming, whinebots, poutposting? Poutposting.

Comment cries for help - could they be coming from distressed spam-bots who've grown human posting billions of comments that reference human emotion?  Or implant-laden marketers from the future sending us pleas for help in the only way they know how?  Or is it real spammers, sighing after work and no longer able to communicate in any other way?  Mysterious.
