Category Archives: Operation Global Media Domination

Just what it sounds like. My quest to conquer the global media and take over the world. Maybe I can get my library fines cancelled…what can I say? It’s a last-ditch effort.

Just because I don’t post anything for 72 hours, is that any reason to abandon me??? Have you no idea what this does to my self-esteem? It’s like the Tink death scene in Peter Pan; every time I get a hit that isn’t looking for mango porn I perk up a bit. Anything less than 300 and I am prone to sudden fainting spells.

On that note I would like to welcome the person who came via a search for “why is everyone looking for charo,” because we are, indeed, all about the Charo here on the raincoaster blog.

Yet another art form to conquer. Those band sites get a lot of hits, y’all! I’m going to have a release party just as soon as the seraphim finish with their recent responsibilities in the Middle East. “Don’t worry,” they say, “If we’ve done this once, we’ve done it a million times.”

Am I the only one who hasn’t seen this yet? More than six million views; I need to take this guy out and pump him for tips.

Of course, it would help if I played the electric guitar like this:

Operation Global Media Domination: award-winning roundup

Posted on by

Miss Congeniality, or Miss Conception?

I’d like to thank all the little people…before they turn on me.

Also the Generator Blog, from whence I stole this Web-award generator. Hey, no sense in waiting for the grass to grow, eh? I thought I’d give all those web-awarders a helping hand. That’s right; raincoaster is always thinking of others. So put your feet up, guys. I’ve gotcha covered.

Meanwhile, in Operation Global Media Domination news, I am happy to report that I have cracked the top 89,000 on Technorati, out of about 45 million blogs, and only since the second-last day of February, when I started the blog. Mother would be so proud. Thanks are particularly due all those Brits who have mistaken me for one of themselves, and a True Patriot at that. Look, I hate Tony Blair as much as any of you, but I also have extremely mixed feelings. It’s…it’s complicated, okay??? Oh yeah, and somebody came to the blog looking for BoJo Porn; try the Times.

The posts most responsible for this rush to the cranial summit of the blogosphere are, of course, Beautiful Agony and 101 Bottles of diet coke, 523 mentos, and 2 mad scientists. Baby Eagles are still big in parts of Cyberia, and some poor, demented dude keeps hitting the blog every damn day looking for Charo porn and finding only a cool, Up With Queers music video. Speaking of gays, Ernest and Bertram went viral for a day or so, landing on a couple of forums across the ocean until the bandwidth got bustickated or whatever it is that happens to bandwidth; short form, E&B viral campaign snipped in the bud, dammit!!!

The latest potentially-viral stars are a couple of YouTubers: Chad Vader, Day Shift Manager, the sad tale of Darth‘s loserish brother’s humdrum life, and Paris Hilton stewing, nearly nekkid, in poop soup. Then there’s the Found Porn Slideshow, always a big hit with the Neanderthals.

The only serious post that’s showing any longevity is From Israel, With Love, the Update which is good as the MSM and much of the blogosphere including BoingBoing seems to have got the story substantially wrong, even after corrections.

So that’s all for this edition of Operation Global Media Domination, other than to say that going offline for a few days actually increased the hits. When I went on vacation, my “take it for granted” number of hits was 300. Now it’s 650.

I should take more vacations.

Quiz Fun: Which Muppet are You?

You Are Miss Piggy
A total princess and diva, you’re totally in charge – even if people don’t know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won’t settle for anything less.
You’re going to be a total star, and you won’t let any of the “little people” get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift!

Heh, no surprises there! And I wuv me some Kermit, too.
