No more eye candy

April 1, 2006 in Overset

Yes, it’s true.

I finally got it through my thick skull that the serious opinions I express on this blog would be taken more seriously if I didn’t have pictures of barely-dressed ladies everywhere.

I also realized I can’t complain about certain radio on-air personalities who act like juveniles one day and talk about newsworthy topics the next when, in fact, I do the same thing.

So you folks will have to get your jollies elsewhere, I’m afraid. It’s not like there’s a shortage of sites.

What will this mean for my hit counts? I don’t know. We’ll see.

    Actually, this isn’t the April Fools joke.

    Well Bill, there’s an old Marketing addage that goes like this: “Sell the Sizzle, Not the Steak!” Need I say more? Just another tip from your ole’ Uncle Dave. lol

    Seriously giving up posting the eye candy? I still think you will change your mind when you stumble across a super-hot picture of Scarlett Johannsen or Jessica Alba. I’ll believe it when I (don’t) see it.

    Thank you!

    I must agree with your reasoning, Bill. I admit I was a little taken aback by that stuff. I enjoy fun and games as much as the next guy, but there are plenty of other places for that. I think you have something a little different going here. It’s a matter of focus and credibility, I guess.

    Yes, you made the correct choice. Don’t dilute your ‘mission statement’ to get more visits. I strayed briefly with my pictures and video from the GOP Lincoln Dinner. Even with a disclaimer that I was an Independent, I still managed to xiss off some ‘friends”. The video and pictures are gone are we are staying with high school sports genre exclusively on that URL.
