They are just throwing out unrelated crap that don't matter much to the folks who are reading the comments, and is just a waste of time for both the readers and the spammers. If some bottom-feeder interrupts someone's blog or post to sell some penis-enlarging/enhancing magic super-pills, would you really buy their snake-oil? If someone has a particular fetish, then that person could easily find their outlet on their own time - we don't need be to bothered with it while we are doing our own thing!Malcadonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111796978336546944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-87429083350895619272010-06-22T14:49:32.183-04:002010-06-22T14:49:32.183-04:00Yep.
