Your post fits a spam type I dubbed "Controversial Topic" where the poster writes a controversial post about a person or a widely held belief or other mainstream issue and proceeds to bash it. Other posters wittingly or unwittingly join in and the thread grows. You create the longest thread for the week and you win a free DVD. But better than a DVD, if your topic is controversial enough and gets bumped long enough you get thousands of webmasters checking out your message and looking at your SIG.

I have no problems with clever marketing. I just find great amusement in pointing them out and categorizing them.

For other amusing spam post types, check SleazyDream's thread on "Intelligent Spam"
