Tumblr spammers are kind of creepy. And, apparently, French.
They’ve got a bit cleverer since the days of insurance-mutelle-ligne or whoever, but the thing I’m confused with about these strange default-theme reblog-only Tumblrs is- what are they actually selling? Is this just a PageRank exercise? Isn’t that kind of lame nowadays?
Ah well. Maybe I’ll just switch off the display of notes on my theme. Perhaps they’ll go away then.

“ My Lords, is my noble friend aware that, as a person over 60, I am continually bombarded with spam emails? They are always the same and are usually about penile extensions, Viagra or inkjet cartridges. Do I look like a man who requires inkjet cartridges? ”
Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate, in a debate on those over sixty and the internet in the Lords (via).
