Spam For the Hungry Children

One of the downsides of installing widely-used blog software is the phenomenal amount of spam it attracts. I'm using a good spam package on all of my blogs, but now and again a batch of comments get flagged for moderation because they don't score enough points for automatic removal to the spam bin. They're generally some variation of 'Nice site!', 'Thanks for the info!', or 'Great post!'. Today, when logging in to the admin section on one of my blogs, I noticed there were 20 comments awaiting moderation. I scanned through them to make sure I wasn't about to flag any legitimate comments as spam, when I noticed one I'd not seen before. Copy-pasted:
Please, do not delete the given message. Money obtained from spam will go to the help hungry to children ugandi
It's the first spam comment to ever make me chuckle.
