Journal siglercm's Journal: Ask Slashdot: Malware blogs a new vector?

Through some search terms found on Google Trends, I've noticed that there are bunches of apparently fake "blogs" on Blogspot. Here's one example:

Clicking on one of the "videos" posted on these blogs redirects you toward a site Firefox flags for malware downloading (even though I'm on Linux -- thank you 'Fox :).

There seem to be hundreds of these random malware blogs. Is this a new phenomenon? Or have "trusting bloggers" been getting infected this way for some time now?
