Corporate Blogging Still Sucks

Ever notice that crazy-fool owl to the right? Yeah, he has a hoot to give hard and loud:

By using this icon on my website I am stating...

1. That I am opposed to the use of corporate advertising on blogs.

2. That I feel the use of corporate advertising on blogs devalues the medium.

3. That I do not accept money in return for advertising space on my blog.

As lead author of this blog, I would add one more: That I will not give two fucks in exchange for your shit in my face. Comprende 64, Amiga? My adherence to this principle is not as pious as you might think. The average American is exposed to a megaperplexing amount of advertising a day. Why should I add to the clutter and ratscrew someone else's very important marketing message? Please - Nokia, Acura, Sony, and loyal Blogads users - no need to thank me. I support and applaud your efforts to re-shuffle the decks of wealth one ROI-measuring click at a time. My own sleight of hand skills are sub-standard and I would fumble the most amateur of bi-parlor tricks, such as hiding Nicole Richie up one's sleeves. Rather, it is my hope that one comes and goes from this blog with nothing of value but the therapeutic ability to recall the blank thoughts of a bookless subway ride. I'm fairly certain I can deliver on that promise. T-shirts start at $25.
