Looks like the stuff generated by YACG, it worked perfectly years ago, but nowadays it's good for a month or two, then google will kick it. You can either push out the sites faster than google bans them, but it's not effective long term.

Scrapers still work, but they shouldn't look like scrapers (you need design) and the content should be rewritten the smart way (don't mix this up with silly word replacement or wannabe markov rewriters). On top, you need good sources to scrape your content, randomly ripping text from pages you find on the first result pages of the searchengines isn't a good idea.

Bottom line: Scraping is easy, getting away with it long term and ranking well is much harder.
