New form of spam in the comments section

Just an FYI for the few of our daily readers:

We first had problems in the comments section of this blog with spam programs, which was promptly fixed. Now we have a different kind of spammer: people that actually read the headline or first few lines of a post, then leave some rediculous comment without reading the rest or even the article the post links to. They usually sign in as anonymous users and post a link to an advertisement on their name (you can see the web address that it will go to by placing the cursor over their fake name).

Ignore any comments from these users as they are just trying to get more people to view their comment, hence getting more chances of people clicking on their advertisements. It seems that no place is safe from the ad industry these days...
