My earlier post about choosing a team in the Kontinental Hockey League attracted an interesting spam comment. I've had spam in the comments before, making a generic, non-specific statement before offering a link to cutratecialis.org or something.
This time, however, the spam was clearly triggered by my mention of Donetsk, a major city in the Ukraine. (Argh! I mean "a major city in Ukraine" I seem to remember someone getting angry about calling them "The Ukraine.") It went into a discussion of how important Donetsk has become, and how you can still get cheap hotel rooms, in spite of it being the happenin' place on the Black Sea.
Odd, that's never happened before. I haven't mentioned that many cities in the blog before, but they do come up occasionally. I've made random-sounding references to Chinese cities before, but never received details on car-rental deals in Fuzhou. So I'm guessing this is an Eastern European thing. So we'll see if just mentioning places like Gdansk, Ljubljana, Tallinn, Tirana, and Bratislava is enough to trigger spam bots of the East.
