Celebrity sightings and Spam
It’s not often a genuine celebrity shows up at CBEB’s. In fact, it’s never happened… until today. Sorta. I mean, if making an ass out of oneself on The Daily Show and getting pwned by Frank Zappa on Crossfire qualify one for celebrity status, then yes, we have a confirmed celebrity sighting.
The one and only John Lofton showed up in the comments of my John Lofton for President! post to, predictably, say something stupid.
The comment almost didn’t see the light of day. It’s only because of this post at Bitch Spot that I checked my Askimet filter; something I rarely do. It turns out that even non-sentient spam filters think of Lofton as an insufferable douchebag.
Also, an apology to commenter Iggy - Askimet prevented one of your comments from getting through, but I marked it as “Not Spam”. I think it was your choice of homepage that caught Askimet’s attention…
I’m running out of naming options for these increasingly sick people. I started out a month ago with Church Burners. Then I had to add Ebola Boys. Church Burning Ebola Boys. Now what - Church Burning Baby Butchering Ebola Boys? That’s too long. Too unwieldy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Source:

LOL
The addy changed, and as a service to the public, I felt compelled to inform everyone.
I’ll be good now.
Keep up the good work. This has become one of my favorite blogs in a short time.

Thanks for the kind words, Iggy.
For the record, I didn’t have any problem at all with your choice of URL, but it looks like Askimet doesn’t share our twisted sense of humor.
