Sex Sells

The question is, are you buying?

I forsee different target markets for these two fine celebrity products:

Oh Come All Ye Faithful indeed. As someone said, this is an historic occasion: the only time Clay Aiken has ever been on top of a box.

The artist’s statement:

I thought about what the average Claymate might appreciate and after careful study, concluded that most are likely to be collectors of the sort of trinkets seen advertised in the back of Ladies Home Journal. There’s a good chance many of them own unicorn figurines, music boxes, frightening dolls, Disney trinkets, or something atrocious by Thomas Kinkade.

Seems logical enough.

Now, the market for the following is rather different. Looks like ScarJo here doesn’t have the net savvy of, say, a David Hasselhoff; she’s let a mangy old cybersquatter offer her up like Miley Cyrus on a platter to the reader who can send the filthiest email. Then again: it might be the real thing. We all know how she loves her email buddies!

Scarjo is ready when you are!

Every Day I Write the Blog Post

and every night someone complains about it.

Nonetheless, every time someone clicks Play on this YouTube, a new blogger gets her keyboard.

It’s true. It’s a fact.

If you haven’t looked out at a crowd of your friends and family and thought, Ah, material! you’re not really a writer.

Offensive Language in Featured Blogs

Hi, I signed into WordPress and right there on the main page in the list of featured blogs was a description about something where they use the sh-word. I couldn’t help but see it, right there in black and white. I’m surprised WordPress would put this blog up where everyone sees it right when signing in. There are ladies here, and it is offensive language.

    Also, last time I checked I was #57 on WP for featured blogs. Cindy had to drill down a fair ways to find pottymouth me.
