New type of spam - Blogspot

This morning I ran across a new type of spam; spammers are creating blogspot accounts and when you go to them they redirect to the real payload site (in my case, pharmaspam).

Google ought to be able to help out with this.  They own Blogspot, so I would expect that they should be able to shut down blogspot accounts that redirect to known spam sites.  They would just need to leverage their Gmail filtering service.
