My new Pet Peeve

I have noticed a trend in several of my friends blogs, or more specifically- the comment section of my friends blogs, that disturbs me greatly. I have seen people who will comment only to promote their own blog or website, and I have also seen bold faced ads for online companies and pyramid schemes instead of a friendly greeting or a joking comment, as it is supposed to be. This is actual text from a friend's blog comment that I came across recently:

"St0ck For Your Review - FCPGCurrent ProfileFaceprint Global Solutions (FCPG) Current Price $0.15A U.S. based-company dedicated to the goal of bringing effective security solutions to the marketplace....Forward loking statements in this action may be identified through the use of words such as "projects", "foresee", "expects", "will", "anticipates","estimates", "believes", "understands" or that by statements indicatingcertain actions "may", "could", or "might" occur. Risk factors includegeneral economic and business conditions, the ability to acquire and develop specific projects, the ability to fund operations and changes in consumer and business consumption habits and other factors over which the company has little or no control. "

Yeah, nice comment there davidnelson1970.

I've also seen several blogs that are thinly veiled commercials, and the poster changes merely a few words each post and then gives a somewhat cordial comment on someone elses blog and a link to their own inofmercial.

I don't know what the path would be to stop this annoyance, and courts would doubtlessly support these people's freedom, but it is inconsiderate, and I cannot really imagine that this gives the advertised companies or organizations much money.

I found an article which briefly discusses this issue:
