What happens when automated content scraping goes wrong

I came across this site when trying to look up the state of PSPGo Homebrew, which seems to be okay for the moment but no leads (and NO you cannot yet play so-called 'backup' games yet).

As much as I hate linking to stupid sites, this one is a topper that just has to be seen, as it is a great example (Bluehat/Greyhat SEO-wise) of when content scraping goes wrong.

Most of this article is readable, but a lot of it completely doesn't make sense in English. As if written by a foreigner, but it's quite clear this article must be taken from elsewhere and had words switched around with a thesaurus. A must-see.
