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.
"Hello there, I found your web site via Google while searching for a comparable matter, your web site got here up, it looks great. I have bookmarked it in my google bookmarks."
2.
"There's definately a great deal to learn about this subject. I like all of the points you made."
3.
"I am curious to find out what blog platform you have been utilizing? I'm experiencing some small security issues with my latest site and I would like to find something more safeguarded. Do you have any suggestions?"
4.
"Hi! I could have sworn I've been to this blog before but after looking at some of the posts I realized it's new to me. Anyways, I'm definitely happy I came across it and I'll be bookmarking it and checking back frequently!"
5.
"Hi there, I found your site by the use of Google even as looking for a related matter, your website got here up, it appears to be like good. I've bookmarked it in my google bookmarks."

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.
