*** Prior to posting this entry, I moderated ITRadio's blog comments, which this week consisted entirely of spam. Ladies and gentleman, Risky Business attracts some weird comment spam, but today's promise of "gay midget videos" really takes the cake. And you thought e-mail spam was bad. I'll keep you all updated on anything else weird I come across.
