Doc Searls is getting the same referer crap from Starprose that I've been seeing. It looked like a dreadfully boring website (like Doc, most of the referer spam I see is porn related). Now, Doc tells us that the spam is originating from Joe Lieberman's official campaign site. Now, my apache logs arent giving me the specifics that doc's getting; here's what he's got:

aca3cc09.ipt.aol.com - - [02/Jan/2004:18:50:27 -0800] "HEAD / HTTP/1.1" 200 0 "http://joe2004.com/?starprose" "StarProse Referrer Advertising System 2004"

That's slimy. I'd be turned off by a product that pulls that kind of stunt, and politics is nothing if not product placement. I'm not much caring for the strategy...
