Lynn, spun articles are those articles on blogs that are taken (either stolen or actually bought or borrowed) from another source, then run through a program that changes enough words so that it's not plagiarism. The end result, in some cases, is that it's almost garbled, not to mention garbage. The program just uses synonyms for every other word (or some such thing) which turns it into utter rubbish.
Twit, the page I saw said in several places that it was translated, and for accuracy you should see the original French page. I can't read French, so that does me no good at all. Maybe it was just that page...
