Spamming Baby Borrowers show slammed by child welfare group

About three months ago we received so much comment spam for the now-failed E! reality shows 'Pop Fiction' that I was compelled to write a story about it. In that case the spam was coming from a public relations firm that thought that a good way to generate interest in their client's shows was to make obnoxious comments full of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes on celebrity blogs.

A child welfare group says new reality show Baby Borrowers is unnecessarily stressful for babies.
