keyserver spam

[gnupg at lists.grepular.com]

I understand that once you've uploaded something to the keyservers, it
can't be removed. Eg, if I sign someone elses key and upload that, it
will be attached to their key permanently?

What if someone were to generate say, 10,000 keypairs with "offensive"
uid names, and then sign my key with each of them, and then upload that
to the keyservers? Is there anything to stop that? Is there anything to
stop a spammer generating a key with their URL in the uid name and then
signing every key they can find and uploading that to the keyservers?

Has anything like this happened before?
