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.
"I love what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work and coverage! Keep up the very good works guys I've incorporated you guys to our blogroll."
2.
"Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Internet explorer. Superb Blog!"
3.
"Hi would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a hard time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!"
4.
"I every time used to study post in news papers but now as I am a user of internet therefore from now I am using net for articles or reviews, thanks to web. Your means of describing the whole thing in this piece of writing is really nice, all be capable of easily know it, Thanks a lot."
5.
"I have been surfing online more than 3 hours lately, but I never found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's lovely price sufficient for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made just right content material as you probably did, the net will be a lot more useful than ever before."

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.
