Re: Choke

April 20th 2008 03:00
I recently wrote a blog entry about popular Chuck Palahniuk book Choke. I made some disparaging comments about this particular book and encouraged those people who enjoyed reading that particular book to stop frequenting this particular blog.

Here are the internet traffic statistics of this blog as a result of my last blog entry:

STATISTICS FROM THE SEVEN (7) DAYS PRIOR TO POSTING THE 'CHOKE' BLOG ENTRY

Hits: 2,591
Unique visitors: 486
Advertising revenue: $51.12

STATISTICS FROM THE SEVEN (7) DAYS AFTER POSTING THE 'CHOKE' BLOG ENTRY

Hits: 312
Unique visitors: 89
Advertising revenue: $4.01

Summary: You can clearly see that my request for readers to stop visiting my blog has really hit home and I'm suffering financially as a direct result of my controversial opinion.

You may think that this is building up to me making some kind of apology and begging for another chance so that my previous internet traffic returns and fills the Books Are For Losers coffers with all that beautiful Goodle AdSense revenue. This couldn't be further from the truth. I am ecstatic that all of those losers have taken their custom elsewhere and I'm glad that now I'm only speaking to others on the same (extremely high) intellectual level as myself.

Thanks for your support and congratulations on finding yourself as part of the educated elite of the internet.

Congrats Pat!! Whatever the opposite of selling out is (selling up maybe??) you have done it.
Not to worry, you will build a new legion of loyal fans and probably only lose half of them with your next disparaging diatribe.
It's natural selection happening right on your blog!!!

Guys, this was all lies by the way. I don't make any money and I feel bad lying about it.

Luke, I'll take a look!
