Livejournal spam
What is up with the livejournal spam?
I got one comment on my Sarah Palin post about a bunch of crazy shit, which I responded to because I was so irritated by it.
And then, within an hour, I got another comment on one of my feminist theory book reviews trying to sell me some stupid email series on women's history.
I'll quote it here because I deleted the comment (it was way too obnoxious to keep):
Subject: Remember the suffragettes!
Read this for your daughters!
Do you know what the suffragettes had to go through to get the vote for women? Do you have any idea of what life was REALLY like for women before they did?
I didn't and I couldn't believe it when I found out.

I mean, the subject matter is something I'm actually interested in, but 1) I don't like getting hijacked for someone's advertising, and 2) the tone is so sensationalistic! It reads more like an ad for Girls Gone Wild than it does for a series about suffragettes, voting, and female role models.
Is anyone else getting this? Is there some reason I'm suddenly getting livejournal spam comments?
