Instapundit's Disqus-based commenting system gets more than its share of spambots. Most of the bot comments, like the image above, feature the faces of vaguely cute women, but usually with a message like "Make $200-$500 an hour by working for Google." Some bot comments, though, are like the above: just a weird string of letters reminiscent of the splattery death rattle of someone who's been stabbed in the throat. What do these mean? Are they just examples of the bots' having given up and printing gibberish with cute, clickable faces? Are there idiots out there who will actually click on those faces (don't answer that)? Do you ever see these these bot comments in other contexts? Weird.

READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING!
All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.

Those are just Welsh spambots.
