Linkbait of the Year Everyone knows about the so called “RSS contest” between the evil marketing master, Shoemoney, aka “Send me a T-Shirt in exchange for a link” and the Lord of the Taverns, John Chow, aka “I’ll eat your money in the finest restaurants and I’ll show you how”.

Beer :) with me for a minute and I’ll tell you why there is actually no contest between them but an evil marketing campaign meant to attract thousands of subscribers and to create a “buzz” from which guess who’s going to benefit?

Both of them launched contests for their army of subscribers, but guess what? None of them is actually paying a cent thanks to their faithful readers. Free prizes? Yeah, baby! Free advertising? Sure, why not? Here is Shoemoney’s contest and here is Chow’s – freebies for everyone!

Do you really think it’s just a contest? Do you think they care who’s gonna win? Naah… at the end they are both winners with thousands of extra subscribers, no one loose from this mad linkbait campaign. People subscribe, people write about, people link, people pay for prizes…and the winners are…

Manipulating masses it’s the key to success these days, no matter if it’s politics, media, television or online marketing. They both know that but what about you, faithful followers? They’ll tell you how to make money knowing that you’ll never be able to and you know why? Because the circle is closed up there and they won’t let you in. Sad but bloody true… That’s why I’m writing this blog…perhaps I should start telling you how to make money…would that be more successful? Naah…I just can’t lie…

What the box is that?

I recently visited MyBoxPro.com . When I saw the name I was expecting to find a site about professional boxing or paper boxes or something similar…but No! This guy is blogging about laptops! I said, what the box is that? laptops? hmm…

I even asked the little dog in the picture his opinion about the site, hmm… a bit nasty, isn’t it? MyBoxPro.com offers the latest news for notebook users…let’s see… “Where’ my laptop radio?” – I think you just forgot an “s” (Where’s) lol…that’s quite a bad beginning :) What else, what else…hahaha…”MyE-zines” page is “currently under construction”! People don’t like “under construction” pages and I would recommend to set up that page when you really have something to say…

Let’s have a look at the “i AM i” page so we’ll know better who’s behind this blog. Izzy the geeky guy, who wants “to spread the word on Info Technology to the masses, keeping them up-to-date with the latest in the info tech world.” Oh gosh, I hope there is no connection between you and the Psychodiabolix commentator :)

Good parts, bad parts (to much adsense and affiliate crap) , MyBoxPro.com offers really useful info for notebook lovers. Here is your trophy, Izzy! Don’t mind the naughty little dog – you know the animals always tell us the truth :)

Dating a natural woman

Natural Woman Dating a natural woman has been my dream since I was 14. I still remember the first date with my biology teacher…I was 17 and she was 32…first date…and then 2 years together …but that’s another story :)

She calls herself a Natural Woman and I’m going to discover why. Just clicked on her blog and I could smell the fresh, mountain perfume, from her banner. So far so good, I said… the clean layout and colours makes this a perfect dating place. She was just asking why does it takes so long to get a copy of a magazine subscription?…silly conversation I thought while smiling…why does it takes so long to cure the world from poverty? Much better question…

She said, “Two wrongs don’t make a right“. I love her style, but not even half a wrong makes a quarter of right so…wrong again :) then clicked on “About Me” page. Every man wants to find out more, right? Especially when it comes to a natural woman… “I have been knowing myself all my life and for some reason when I am asked the question, “so tell me about yourself” an answer just does not come rolling off my tongue. I literally have to think.”, she said. So true, too true…

I’ve left her blog with the lights swiched on…just to make sure that I’ll be back some day…

Meghna, do your homework!

Do your homework! I just realized that is way harder to write bad reviews than good ones, funny reviews than serious ones…

Meghna is a 12 years old girl blogging about creative writing, humor, school, stories, poetry, fiction, fantasy, children, books and all the other usual crap. I bet she’s gonna start blogging about love in a couple of years and about politics when she grows up!

Now how the hell I can write a review without hurting a 12 years old girl? Listen you cheeky little angel, go back to your homework instead of blogging, will you?

Funny or not the blog is better than many other blogs created by the “specialists” and “how to make money” gurus, which proves how smart are the kids today.

How a cow has been sent to jail or why the bee doesn’t take a bath are not quite my favourite subjects but here comes an interesting one: Ants in the pants!!! – OMG, I bet they teach you at school about ants but what about the … “in the pants”, part? You’ll better leave it for when you’ll grow up a bit, honestly… (the “in the pants” , I mean)…

Now be good girl and do your homework. Your blog it’s fine and no matter how much I try to find something bad,…nope… :) Here it is, a little award for you, go tell your mummy!

Otaku and the Bad Santa

Just came across Otaku-Anonymous and realised how little I know about the subject. I knew it’s something to do with cartoons but I had to search on Wikipedia to find out more setails.

“Otaku is a derisive Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and manga.”(Wikipedia”) OMG people with obsessive interests…let’s give a lesson to the Bad Santa!

The fact that the owner asked to be slaughtered (well, reviewed), couldn’t make me happier :) The header has nothing to do with the blog and the blog has nothing to do with the domain name. I can’t see that bridge being related with the content somehow and also the content with Otaku-Anonymous! Wtf, I said…is this another joke-blog? The Bad Santa is doing silly jokes again?

Talking about transformers and Darius McCrary isn’t the right thing to do or I might miss something… Dohh, the loving lady offers first aid to the exhausted turtle-ninja, that should be the coolest thing on the blog! What else? Hmmm…not much as I’m not planning to review the adsense code or the BlogRush widget. Someone tell this guy that content is the key, please! Hard to write anything else…ahh…the footer has to be reviewed too… ” Otaku.Anon usa mySimplified un tema construido a partir de Simplified Theme por José María Morales Vázquez Página generada tras 27 consultas en 9.007 segundos.” – I hope you all understood the message :)

Here is my little gift for Otaku (I’m not going to give a trophy as I couldn’t find any crappy image) but listen to that Otaku master in the video and ask yourself, wtf is Otaku?

All clear now? :)
