Do you get this WordPress spam?

The logic behind this spam escapes me. It's random gibberish, the URLs are not registered or hosted and I get hundreds of these a day. Askismet filters them into our spam queue, I am still puzzled as to what purpose these spam attacks serve.

Ideas?

I figured so much, but also would expect for the "tasters" to quit trying after the 40,000th spam taste that fails.
