What the....?

Got this anonymous posting on my last entry, has absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote, and appears to be spamlike. Has anyone else gotten anything like this?


The Passion of The Christ is in theaters soon - this week on Wednesday.. what do you think about this movie? I'm going to see it for sure - the trailers were enough to convince me. I read somewhere that it's the widest opening ever for a subtitled movie; I have a feeling subtitles won't detract from the full effect of this movie though. After looking at the trailers which have no subtitles or english at all, it was reinforced for me that lack of spoken english in this film won't hurt one bit. To sum up my impression of The Passion: it's a work of art.
Good Website
Another fascinating aspect to this movie is all the controversy that has been generated about it.
Some people, not really representative of Jewish people, but rather self appointed Jewish spokespeople, such as Abraham Foxman from the Anti-Defamation League, seem to have been attempting to denounce this film for months as being anti-Semitic. The news reported that they even stole the script last year! But here's what some Jews say (Jews who don't make it their job to tear apart other people): Protesting Gibson's Passion Lacks Moral Legitimacy by Rabbi Daniel Lapin.

Nice to see some people speaking rationally.

So what do you think of all this?

**Knowing he wont receive this, but the venting makes me feel better**

Kyle, I think you need to take your propaganda crap elsewhere and quit filling up my journal with your garbage, you freak. If I could send you a virus, I would.

I think you should disable anonymous comments :D

I hate to do that, because I have friends who occasionally post to them and don't belong to LJ. Can this type of spamming be reported and stopped?

unfortunately, no, LJ's response to this is to disable anon posting as well :/

I'm not sure that it can be stopped. But making sure it logs the IP address is a step in the right direction. Check the FAQs and Help files.

I activated the screening of anonymous postings, I think that will at least fix it to some degree. I can always disapprove an anonymous posting if it's not a buddy of mine.

Duh, I should have thought of that. Stoopid me. :P

LOL! You've probably had a rough day, buddy, don't beat yourself up too much! Of course, you are getting older, so the memory may be going a little ;)

Yeah, I've been hit by Christ movie spam too, and have seen it in other journals. Your idea to screen anonymous comments is a good one.

I've never done it before, but I do get occasional posts from non-LJ friends, and I didn't want to eliminate them from posting things. A minor annoyance, but one worth dealing with, I think.
