That is one insane spambot. Who would buy that?

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The rate of kitchen-related puns in this thread is sinking, which makes me feel drained :/

The thread's quality is sinking fast. I guess we need to put some more pun topics on the table.

Just because the thread has gone cold, doesn't mean it can't be reheated.

We simply dish them out and serve them slightly chilled?

This one just gives a phone number, not a link.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

Also, Google changed things so that that doesn't work. Doesn't stop spambots from attempting it, though.

Some of the earlier spam had e-mail and website links, but not all of it.

I'd make some guesses at what they are trying to accomplish by doing this, but I lack the foresight to do so.

Hopefully no-one tempts fate and follows any of the links.

It seems we're sieged by love-counselling bots.

They're almost one and half month too early, though...

I'd want to (prank) call that number for the lulz. But not sure if that would encourage more spambots in the future. Not like that's a big problem.
