What the hell?

Okay, now the spam is getting ridiculous.

Here, look for yourself.

She's not anonymous. Her name is Lola. But yes: WTF????

After reading the syntax, it sounds like it's a spam bot that's running. Have you checked your system for spyware/adware/annoywares lately???

To combat any possibility of spam I screen posts by non-friends and disable anonymous posting.

Under http://www.livejournal.com/manage/comments/ you can require CAPCHA for anonymous commenters or all non-friends. I recently decided to allow anonymous comments in my journal, in case someone without a LiveJournal or OpenID wanted to comment, and with the CAPCHA I haven't had any problems so far.

But this seems to be an increasingly common issue on LJ. I would definitely change at the least your anonymous comment settings if I were you.
