It really gives me a joyful glow when I realise that the year or so I spent culling stock phrases from spambot posts and putting them into a database of "bad words" has finally paid off: more than half of the pr0n spam that arrives on the bulletin boards I monitor now arrives in a complete mess, the links dead and unclickable, the text unreadable because standard words and phrases have been replaced by lines like "Yeah, it's okay, Kendra killed the bad lamp." and "spam with every packet of cornflakes" and "I only go to a movie if it satisfies three basic requirements. One, it has to have at least two women in it, who, two, talk to each other about, three, something besides a man."
