Last night I was looking for some nice backgrounds for my desktop. I was looking for a large image of a 1982 Rolls Royce Silver Spur.​

After the first 20 or so results the rest were all automatic redirect to other spam channels for porn, pills and other nuisance websites. These pages were all something like "workingwonders2608.blogspot.com". There was at least 50 or more.

At first I reported one, then another. I gave up after my 20th report last night.

I then searched for an image of a grassy pasture and again, the same idiot with blogspot pages that automatically send you to spam webpages all over the internet within 1 second of going to the page with the image.

I am happy to report as of this morning all the **2605 - **2608.blogspot redirect pages have all been deleted or filtered. Good work Google!

However on the spam report pages, Google mentioned that this is a new trend that is script generated to infiltrate image searches and they are aware of it because they are using Blogspot (their own service) to do it.

Ive always wanted one of those. Maybe one day....

The grill really bothers me on those cars.

Designer - We have a bunch of these cool grills left over from 1937. What can we do with them?

CEO - We don't have any money budgeted for new designs.

Designer - ...

CEO - Just stick them on the front of the new cars. It looks distinguished.

Designer - ??? Sigh... :^(
