I reported about 15 comments last night for a spammer using various @yahoo.com addresses. I probably missed a few, but I thought I'd bring this in the open.

All comments include:

~@yahoo.com as the name. CTRL+F finds them rather easily

and

~Horribly broken English that makes no sense.

Here's an example:

Hi As in your guestbook to include support html?

Some date back to October, but several were posted yesterday and early this morning on the "comedy song recordings" section.

EDIT: This thread is loaded with spam:

I always wonder why spammers even bother if they aren't even getting a link to their garbage.  This one is hopping around on IP addresess as well, so definitely not just a confused person or anything.

I think I caught them all

Well, as irritating as spam is, at least this guy gave me a few ideas for parodies.

BTW, just reported another 8 or so that appeared since my original post.

Makes me feel like writing a bot that spams those email addresses to hell and back again ;)

You know of course they're probably just made up email addresses, and even if they weren't, I doubt they're even being checked.

Does make one wonder, therefore, wtf is the point of the spam, then?  But you're probably right, anyway.
