not particularly when you take a look at it.  Misbehaved origin AS:

BGP routing table entry for 63.237.115.192/27, version 3368964

A router will take the most specific path that it knows about to a
particular destination.  Since parts of the Internet are seeing a /27
here, it's winding up going all over the place.  It would appear that
AS3561 is allowing such small advertisements from AS3908, and then
providers that dont have filtering at the border based on prefix length
get injected this very specific route.  Yet more examples of what happens
with a lack of filtering........
