Comment Spam: The New Advertising?

tata-comments

I’m not sure whether we should be flattered that the owners of Jaguar and Land Rover are openly visiting The Motor Report, or insulted at the attempt to bypass paid advertising on TMR!

TMR’s Dan McCoey likes to keep a close eye on things around here, so when he stumbled across this piece of comment spam this morning, he was moments away from deleting it when he suddenly realised that this was no mere spam.  This was spam from the company themselves!  Tata—owners of Jaguar and Land Rover, and one of the upcoming manufacturers of the next century—had posted spam right here on TMR.

That’s something you don’t see every day.

Sorry Tata; while I applaud your brevity, I’m afraid you’ll just have to contact us and discuss advertising through the usual means!
