A new spamming technique

A new kind of spam just dropped in for a visit. Instead of just listing a bunch of URLs to PPC sites, this tried to embed the URLs in the punctuation of the comment. A taste (I am inserting a bunch of underscore characters to block string searches):
First__time__posting__here
a__href__=__http:__fluffybunny__com__,__a
just__sayin__hello.

Is__there__just__a__lot__of__spam__here
a__href__=__http:__fluffybunnytwo__com__,__a
or__is__there__anything__useful__here__?
Got to love the chutzpa of asking if there was any spam here... And of course, the mouthbreather that thought this up didn't check their system -- it is a known zombie and was chucked into moderation because of that. So now I have something new to look for...
