Hey, Viagara comment spammers? Yeah, your friendly Big Arm Woman here, with a few tips that might help you in better planning your spammage:
See, just because an entry on my blog has the word "Suck" in the title, it doesn't follow that the entry itself is about sexual function.
And even if it were about sexual function, I'm not thinking that my readers would look to the comments section for help with their OWN sexual dilemmas. Seriously. It's just stupid.
I've heard that a lot of you spammy folk use overseas "help" to get the word out about your product. This might explain why you think any reference to "suck" must be sexual, or why you seem to feel that a blog written by a WOMAN would be the perfect place to shill for Viagara, or even why you believe that a site that enjoys mocking academics is the perfect niche market for sex aids (although given the recent MLA posts, you may have a point there).
You might want to look into actually making sure your "help" reads and speaks English, because these little faux pas (faux pases? fauxes pas? dammit!) are sure to be damaging to your delicately cultivated and hard-won status as purveyors of fine products.
In the meantime, I'll just keep deleting the comments, because I wouldn't want to add to your embarrassment by leaving them up in the wrong place on the wrong blog for all the world to see.
I'm here to help. Really. You can thank me later.
