The next generation of spam?

OK, this bit of spam, back on this post, almost had me going:

Oh my goodness! I heard from friends on campus that there was a guy
in front of the Statehouse telling everyone that C-Fed was dead!? I
knew that his brother’s crazy life would have an effect him sooner or
later. I don’t know what to think anymore.

With its reference to "a guy in front of the Statehouse," I thought it was a relevant comment. Then I was trying to figure out what or who a "C-Fed" might be. Later in the comment, "K-Fed" came into it. I was about to conclude that they were some sort of federal financial instrument, like Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. I then wondered if it had something to do with Ben Bernanke’s testimony Thursday.

Then I realized it was some sort of trashy come-on having to do with celebrity-obsessed Web sites called "vipglamour.net" and "thehollywoodgossip.com" (note that I’m not providing links):

With the Britney being
screwed up beyond compare, and the kids having to pay the price for her
crazy behind, C-Fed got mixed up in the crazy life! I hope K-Fed thinks
about what he has done. As soon as I go back I googeled C-Fed, and this
is what I got. I know everyone is heart broken, but here is what I
found for the latest…

If spam is getting sophisticated enough to come to MY site and figure out it can worm its way into a fresh post (most spam gloms onto old, inactive posts) by tossing out the word "Statehouse," we’re in deep doo-doo. If the Chinese get ahold of this, they won’t need to be able to shoot down our satellites to crash our economy. (And yes, I know they could just as easily call for payment on all our debt they own, but commies are big planners, and don’t want to leave anything to chance.)

    Does anyone know what to do about the continued massacre of citizens in public places in this country? The kids that were killed yesterday–they were my kids. Oh, not literally, but every time it happens, I see my own kids, and in a real way, we are all in this together.
    I suppose some people will want to arm more people with weapons to fire back as soon as the guy starts shooting, and others will want to blame socialism for the guy’s maladjustment to begin with, but I’d like to know about some workable solutions, besides turning our society into the set of a Grade B Cowboy movie (everybody armed with pistols). Can anyone help? Who is going to stop the next guy who is mad at the world from killing another dozen people? And the next kids may very well be my own.
