While modern America associates St. Patrick’s Day with drinking and… drinking, it wasn’t always a holiday of celebration.

We get some pretty interesting spam comments that don’t get published. Previously, I posted the fun Russian one. This week’s winner. Cheese spam.
That’s right. Someone sent a spam comment to the site hoping to convince people to buy sketchy online cheese. The comment originated somewhere in Yugoslavia… a known mecca of the cheese world.

Gross.
