This sounds like an interesting challenge for smart people. Leave a stupid comment to this post using the most vowels you can.
Not sure how well this will work. After all, “smart” has fewer vowels than “stupid.” Well, have at it… Stupidest vowel-y comment gets a linkback.

So if you use the filter, you will want stupid people to visit your site… but not comment. I think that if they are after spam, there is already a tool for that.
Maybe you don’t want your advertisers–or your family–to know the stupidity of your readership.
Yes, Akismet works pretty well.
That’s funny Dan. However, i still don’t think that many bloggers are going to use the plugin.
egads, egregiously repetitive not too mention redundant and astonishingly unworthy of my excellence. I absolutely expect you to count Ys as a vowel.
P.S. - Now I want to write code to count vowels.
I knew you would not be able to resist.
You know, “literate” and “illiterate” both have the same vowel to consonant ratio (1:1). But, “idiot” (3:2) has more vowels to consonants than (2:3) “dummy.” “Moron” stands at 2:3. So, it’s “smarter” to call someone an idiot than a dummy or moron? “Fool” has a 1:1 ratio–I guess that makes it a fence-straddler?
If I say that I was conversing (3:7) with someone, as opposed to talking (2:5) to someone, isn’t the former smarter than the latter? Comparing, however, “conversing” has a 15:35 ratio while “talking” has a 14:35 ratio. But, that is pretty close. And both have more than twice as many consonants, which would seem to make both qualify as stupid under the theory behind this filter.
A childish thing to say might be: I know you are but what am I, which is a 9:10 ratio. What about: E equals MC squared? Smart, no? 7:9 ratio–more consonants than vowels!
I think the reasoning behind this filter is flawed.

That’s a 5:9 vowel:consonant ratio.
