Odd Political Spam and the 7 plagues of the intarweb

Published on September 7, 2006 By cactoblasta In Politics

I don't know if you've noticed but there's been an odd increase in the level of bizarre political spam recently. Most of it could be filed in the staring-mad video-clip posting conspiracy left wing cabinet.

There are a few things that puzzle me. Firstly, what's the go? Is there some secret office somewhere directing hordes of zealots to go forth and post? Or has some nutcase figured out how to program? If that's the case then god save us all, for the technical professions, or so I've been told by sources of unspeakable virtue, are the sole domain of the practical conservative. The entrance of the situationally unstable can't be good...

Anyone picked up the source of these strange creatures on their stroll through the intarweb?

I'm beginning to be concerned it's one of the 7 plagues of the internet. First there were business blogs. And there was a yawning and a mild struggling of shoulders. Then there were anonymous posts for instant hard-on drugs. And yea, there was raised eyebrow and an expression of slight irritation. Then there were the inexplicable encoded transmissions from the mothership (eg. l;23dfskljg dfkljhgh slkdjfh

), which, forsooth, led to a deleting of comments and a few muttered comments. Now there's youtube links and curious/entertaining conspiracy theories that are seemingly unrelated to the topic at hand, and joeuser seems engrossed in the mystery.... and the menace!*

What's next? Is primordial slime to exude from screens as a result of intarweb-faring illiterati?# Dost the remaining 3 plagues include the deaths of firstborns or an abundance of delicious frogs? Or are we to be cursed with rains of rain? (Oh, the wetness!)

I, for one, await THE FUTURE!!!!! with baited breath. Whatever comes next will surely be the cause for great alarm in the alleyways of the powerless and resentful and I for one fully intend to complain both powerlessly and resentfully when the time of apocalypse or the parting of waters comes.
