I found one that I liked, was getting ready to start building a tiny blog farm with it when I noticed a whole shit pile of encrypted code in the footer and in the sidebar I found this:

Apparently you can insert malware and have all sorts of popups appear on the site once your up and running. I'm sure you old timer SEO hotshots know all this, but I sure didn't. (I believe eval is echo in German. The template has all sorts of links back to Germany.)

Normally it is just use as a lang construct to call given strings, of course used to evaluate the given string as PHP code.

It has nothing to do with Germans. I don't know your problem that points you to that brain fart...
