Flight to Fight in Durban

Believe it or not, there is actually something worse than a mailbox full of junk email. Its weblog full of junk comments. I woke up yesterday to find comments on my weblog made by lawyers looking for clients who have mesothelioma from asbestos. Could there be anything more insulting to a medical student? Apparently people with automated comment generators leave thousands of mindless, useless comments on weblogs all over the world in an effort to generate business. These people are worse than those who flood your mailbox with emails informing you about purchasing Viagra online or the wealthy relative of yours who died overseas and needs to leave you a million dollars if you just reply with some banking details.

As my good friend Blake sarcastically put it: "I was looking for a good accountant in India and an online college degree. Thanks to the comments section on Cully's site, I found both. Yeah capitalism!"

These people are whats wrong with the world and if any of you (and you know who you are) happen to be reading this right now, I challenge all of you to a fight. Just meet me in Durban, and its on (you must obviously use your dirty money to pay for the flight).

I changed the settings once again to request word verification when leaving a comment. Word verification requires you to type those funky-shaped letters into the webpage when signing up for things online. Since it takes an actual person to read the letters, automated programs cant do it. We'll see if this helps. If not, I may need to change it so that only registered users can leave comments. But hopefully, this will do the trick.
