About Us
Kelly and I agonized for what seemed like minutes writing the "About Us" that you now see in the right-hand column. Mad propz go to Dr. Smith for (a) providing us a great launching point, and (b) knowing so much about Kelly and I without Kelly or I having any idea who the hell he is.
You'll also note that I've resolved the occassional issue that has come up about some of our links being kind of, well, inappropriate. Kelly and I discussed it, and we agree that jarring moments are part of what makes the web exciting.
You click a link.
Where will it go?
What will I see?
So while we've agreed that any link that is inarguably inappropriate for work should be labeled with an NSFW, there exists a gray area of what is SFW. Perhaps it's a cop out to say, "If you see something you didn't want to see, it's your fault," but that simply isn't the case. The internet is dangerous; we enjoy adding to that danger. If you aren't prepared for it, please read our blog somewhere you can watch a guy get kicked in the boner or see what Leonard Nimoy is up to.
Kelly and I have also agreed to make a third group of links in the right hand column for the NSFW stuff. However, it may be a while before I can set that up, so continue to proceed with caution. (You should be old enough to know that a link called sexblo.gs is perhaps NSFW.)
And if you hate this policy, that's why we have comments, and that's why you have a back button. To our dedicated readers, we love you.
2 Comments:
Some of my favorite posts have featured vague sentences ("I have nothing to say today") with each word linked to another shocking clip.
It's like playing Russian Roulette with your broadband connection.
Some of m'favs:
1. Special Needs Choir halftime show
2. Three cops try a taser
3. The kid getting hit by a car
So as to not further perpetuate the ridiculousness that ensued after this post was written, I am not going to comment in that thread. However, I will say that arguing over something so trivial as whether or not you, Arlo, or Kelly decide to tag a link with a NSFW label is pretty fucking juvenile to me. If the anonymous commentator is a loyal reader of your blog (and a person with a brain), he should know the following things:
1. It is your blog. Who is he to dictate what you should or shouldn't do text-wise, based on his convenience alone?
2. He should be familiar enough with your blog to know that most things aren't work-appropriate (which I think was mentioned before, but I'll reiterate), and if he's so concerned, he shouldn't read the blog during work. It's not rocket science.
Anyway, with that said, I've enjoyed reading your blog over the past year-and-a-half or so (since I first came across it), and fuck this guy if he hasn't figured out by now how it operates writing-wise.
And Kelly, I like your "masturbatory prose." Keep up the good work.
