Recently I came across a collection of comments online that were are evidently part of a comment generation script. Fascinated by this, I wrote some code to select the random words / phrases and piece them together into their intended stupid sentences.

As an example of how this works, have a look at the following line:

Woah! I’m really (loving\enjoying\digging) the theme of this (site\website\blog).

By running a script that randomly selects a word from each set of brackets and then replaces each set of brackets and their content with their respectively selected word, nine different (though similar) sentences can be produced from the single line. The combinations are shown below:

Woah! I’m really loving the theme of this site.
Woah! I’m really loving the theme of this website.
Woah! I’m really loving the theme of this blog.

Woah! I’m really enjoying the theme of this site.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the theme of this website.
Woah! I’m really enjoying the theme of this blog.

Woah! I’m really digging the theme of this site.
Woah! I’m really digging the theme of this website.
Woah! I’m really digging the theme of this blog.

Obviously, the more word options and brace sets per line, the more combinations that can be produced. The posts below are randomly generated from lines in this way:

1.
"Wonderful work! That is the kind of info that are supposed to be shared around the web. Shame on Google for not positioning this put up higher! Come on over and seek advice from my web site . Thank you =)"
2.
"These are genuinely impressive ideas in regarding blogging. You have touched some good things here. Any way keep up wrinting."
3.
"I have been surfing on-line more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It is beautiful value sufficient for me. In my view, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content as you probably did, the internet shall be much more useful than ever before."
4.
"I will immediately snatch your rss as I can not to find your email subscription hyperlink or newsletter service. Do you've any? Kindly let me know so that I may subscribe. Thanks."
5.
"I absolutely love your website.. Pleasant colors & theme. Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as I'm looking to create my own personal website and would love to know where you got this from or just what the theme is named. Thank you!"

This is not intended as a how-to guide on how to be a spammer, but rather to inform on the sneaky way the comments are generated.

Note that all the comments are positive and complimentary / congratulatory with the hope of the recipient believing they are hand-typed, feeling flattered and allowing the comments to appear on their blog. Usually they are posted with a back-link to the spammer’s website which is the whole purpose.
