Dildocox and Nippleclitz
Before devouring bbq chicken pizza in Vegas.
Dirty sex. Apparently this is what it takes to grab the attention of net surfers. I'm not sure if this is a sad commentary on our society, or just un unveiling of what vulgar, animalistic creatures we really are. I'm sure this has happened to you. You have something you want to find more information about on the net, so you go to your favorite search engine to plug in your search terms. Want to find out about the show "Nip and Tuck", or try to find a recipe for "Melon Milk Pie", and what you get are millions of porn sites grappling for your attention. And then if you actually click on one of the sites, you know, just to see....you end up with some porn virus that reconfigures your computer and renders it unable to function. I don't even use the search engines any more, Wikipedia is my search area of choice now.
Lately, it was noted over at Just Babble that one can increase their blog readership exponentially by using any terms for body parts commonly thought of as sexual. Over at Popfizz, he notes that he will read any blog that contains pictures of tits. So I guess if you are looking for readership, sex is the way to go. Just look over here at Sex near the City, a rather popular blog from a woman who basically complains about her sex life and it's (ill written, but we forgive her - English being her second language) regularly in the top ten over at TopBlogs. (You can see where I am on the popularity list if you look at the little brown Vote box to the left on this page.)
Em was ranting yesterday about the whole blog phenomenon and how people are getting fired for what they have put in their blog, and also how friends and family members are often horrified at the information revealed in their loved ones' blogs. I've experienced it myself, "I don't know how you can reveal such personal information. Private things should be kept private." And all I can come up with is "Why?" What is everyone so afraid of? If we all put our deepest darkest secrets out for the world to see, I think we'll all just find that we have the same base and dirty thoughts and opinions as everyone else. Instead, society seems to want us to pretend to be normal, and keep any of the "abnormal" stuff behind the curtain. But then it's also the age thing.
True story with little embellishment: A blogger's parents recently bemoaned reading the blog, saying that sometimes the sexual parts, well, it's too much information, that private things should sometimes remain private. This struck the blogger as quite hypocritical since when the blogger was an 11 year old kid, the blogger discovered (not very well hidden, accidentally stumbled on) naked sex pictures of the parents. A few years later, the father's comic books were discovered wherein was depicted large membered males fucking the eye sockets of dead female corpses. Now that those parents are of grandparent age, suddenly it's shocking to read bloggers shamelessly talking about their own little secret fetishes. I believe that revealing these things might just help take away the shame of it all, what turns you on, what you like to look at, what part of the human klaidescope you fit into. We're all just people. (Well, ok, except for baby man.)
And to any further objections to the contents, or even the phenomenon of blogs, I say "Dildocox and Nippleclitz!"*
* malarkey, balderdash, patooey, nonsense, "you're high"
I beg to differ.
ReplyDeleteI believe this was before devouring the $5.75 breakfast buffet our last morning in Vegas.
I took a shot!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Some blogger's parents who had sex pics and underground comix. Some blogger's... Mmm...nope, no idea, sorry.
ReplyDeleteHow many hits do you think we'd get if we promoted the fabulous product we invented: Crunchy Crusty Clitty Clusters?
Like our parents and grand parents don't already know what we know and still know. It's just the mediums have changed over time to communicate the saucy sides of life.
