AOL hiring polite blog spammer?

I received the following attempt to comment spam this blog today:

Author : galinagirll (IP: 72.9.235.218 , server6.barronhosting.com)
E-mail : tesrghft8077@inbox.ru
URI : http://love.com

hello , you have a very nice site, but Im hired to leave advertising comments on sites, sorry i hate to do it but i have to . If you dont like advertising comments please send me an email with your site address to tedirectory(at)yahoo(dot)com and I will not write on your site. Sorry for inconvenience.

The URI link, love.com, returns this WhoIs info:

Domain Name: love.com
Registrant:
AOL LLC
22000 AOL Way
Dulles, VA 20166
US

The domain redirects to AOL personals so, the polite comment spammer sure seems to be working for AOL. Is AOL really stooping this low, hiring spammers to get better Google rankings?
