SPAM, SPIM even SPLOG, but what do you call SPAM messages in blog comments?

As a security professional I have heard of SPAM, SPIM, even SPLOG, and Phishing and Pharming, and lots of other seemingly nonsense names, but today I may have found a new one.

Since posting my previous blog about DRM and rootkits, I have received two SPAM messages via anonymous comments to that blog post. I have since deleted them. Is there a name for that type of SPAM or do we need a new name? Perhaps BLAM? (-8
