How the hell 

Thumb Down

is this news?

Every group with >500 members is spam-flooded. I imagine the creator changed the description himself as an ironic protest or the password to their accout was compromised.

Graffiti 

"Spammers are leaving marketing messages and web links strewn across the Facebook group like the graffiti left by teenagers in an abandoned house,"

Recently all the adverts I've been seeing on Facebook (ie. the 'legitimate' ads on the right hand side of the page) are of the get-rich-quick kind. I get the feeling there's a real push, and probably one person/group/business behind it all.

Who gives a toss ?
