I think some of us are taking this stuff seriously. I mean, we’re clicking, aren’t we?
1. Meanies. They do it to get attention, and sometimes, more blog traffic. In this case, with 1285 comments and a number one ranking in Google for “Disgusting Bloggers”, I guess they got it.
2. That you can lose weight by blogging about it. This guy didn’t. By the way, if you are squeamish, don’t click. At any rate, you are not going to lose weight whilst sitting around playing on the Internet. If that guy had had a blog, he probably would have gained an extra 100 kilos. Reggie, the black kid with good credit, let me know that my treadmill invention already exists. The thing I found facinating about that article, though, is that people burn about 100 calories per hour just moving around doing whatever. Anything but sitting. I need the computer treadmill NOW!! Especially since I like looking at this lovely site, authored by a Penthouse editor.
3. That anything having to do with PHP is easy. Unless you have two brains.
4. People who blog about the placement of Google Ads when they only have five readers. Of course, these folks really don’t have to worry about it.
5. People who write about happiness and success when they are miserable, miserable individuals. I’m sorry, but I just don’t have the heart to link. Then I would be a meanie.
6. Ugly comments. Waiter Rant is one of my all-time favorite blogs. The ugly comments have been going on for years now. Meanwhile, he’s selling ads on his site and publishing a book. Guess who’s making money off all that snark?
7. That productivity articles will help you to actually be more productive. I tend to read them while sipping a latte before heading out to the pool with a magazine. I do love Lifehack, though. What is it about that site?
8. That surveys will help you earn money online. And hell no that is not an affiliate link!
9. That you can get rich quick online. Perhaps the reason why Mr. Thomas is now writing ten buck articles for a keyword site is because he snorted all of the profits from his yacht and real estate trading up his Pinocchio-lookin’ nose? (Don’t take that seriously…I’m being a meanie.)
10. Anything that politicians say. But you already knew that.
Now here’s something to take seriously. My Cow Patty Bingo Contest will be over in a week and one day! Get your chance to win 50 smackeroos in your Paypal account by linking back to this blog mentioning the contest. You get two entries if you also mention your favorite post!
Another serious thing. If you like this blog, why not subscribe to the RSS feed?
All very true. Nice summary.
11.Blogger using title like “Masturbation and Kisses” to masterly bait the male readers to spill and stain their watered-down replies or to kiss ass.
Found a great article about toning all your muscles when you are online, not the same as a full workout, but it’s helping make my arse like marble!

Amen to #3.
Lifehack, huh? I read LifehackER.com . I wonder which came first…
They do have the little pedal machine thingy you can put under your desk.

#4 made me laugh.
And regarding meanies, I had a hater at my site for YEARS. At first, I wanted to block his IP, delete every comment. He made my blogging life hell. Turns out, he was just messing around and couldn’t believe my overreactions. In fact, he still comes to my site after all these years and leaves a little dig here and there but he is by far my most loyal and long term reader. Oh, and he bought me a present off my wishlist some time ago.
#1 is way overrated.. she looks like one of those Vietnamese whores.. and I mean I am Asian! Too much make up and fake dyed hair… and just awful writing. If she makes so much money, why is she on blogspot?
[...] Cereral Boxes Are More Interesting To Read Than This Blogger Published July 24th, 2007 blogs , Rant I am usually not in the habit of making fun of other bloggers but this one just takes the crown for being the most “disgusting blogger” (She’s actually ranked #1 on Google for Disgusting blogger) I would have never came across this blog (and probably wouldn’t have wanted to) if it wasn’t for Bloggrrl mentioning her in one of her more creative blog posts. Supposedly this blogger gets her kicks and readers by making fun of other bloggers. So I decided to check her out.. clicked on the link [...]
#1 bothered me so much that I did a post about her on my personal blog. lol.. I linked to you. I have to say that your posts are ALWAYS very original, creative and fun to read.. keep up the awesome work
“Reggie, the black kid with good credit” is a hilarious name for a blog
I don’t get #1 either. I just stumbled upon your blog and I must say, very creative work you got here! Definitely adding you to my Google Reader.
Love the summary and your ideas!
I hate being the dumbest person in the room but I can’t seem to get your feed. Every other feed I have, I just click the feed button and then click to read it in Google reader and it majicly works. When I click on your feed link I get a page with the post on it with alot of code mixed in. I’m sure I’m being completely innept but, could someone please help? I really want the feed if I can.
Another great post Grrl. Gotta keep perspective
i am shocked by #10 :O
I’ll have to disagree with number 8 as you can make money taking surveys…just don’t pay anyone to tell you how to do so.
What a shame losing weight isn’t as easy as doing a blog about it.
Love your list!
Hi, I think you are right on all these. We just click & see. Don’t be too serious & over-reacting…
:)
I laughed at number 4. I have seen so many new-ish blogs preaching about how to make a fortune from AdSense (and other monetization strategies) when it’s clear to see that the author is only just learning how to make money online themselves, and trying to use the blog in order to do it. Writing as a beginner telling other people how to be experts is never going to work, and it’s a shame to see that enthusiasm wasted.
True, true, true… we all need to relax, have a cup of tea and stop believing everything we see or hear!
These were great. I hope you don’t mind, I linked to this article on my blog. I loved it that much! Feel free to stop by and check it out. Thanks again!
Very true, but PHP is really easy. I have to go to x-ray, just in case you’re right…
