Friday evening, I created a blog in the range of the blog titles DCCI had used in the past few days. The idea was to see how many people were still frothing at the mouth to hear more of the stuff he was spewing before.
That experiment was blown. Someone with strong Google Fu blew it for me.
The results are pretty inconclusive with such a short span of time and no chance for it to go viral, but the page had 100 hits in about 20 hours. The most important period would have been over the business day on Monday. After about 9pm EST, I planned to put up the final numbers and either proclaim happiness over a low number of hits (doubtful) or point and laugh at all the people salivating to hear more trashy gossip that doesn't really concern them.
That blog has been deleted as no one will fall for the trick now. Oh well...it was worth a try.

ReplyDeleteDoes the irony of this really escape you?

Let's say it does, Omar. Tell me what I'm missing.
ReplyDeletePerhaps he's saying that you are attempting to gauge the average comic fan's appetite for salacious gossip by causing drama. In essence, you become part of the perceived problem. You can't expect to stage a car wreck and not have many people look out of basic curiosity.
ReplyDeleteHow's that? Good? Weak? Ah well, I did my best.

Ha. Not bad. But staging the car wreck to examine the behavior of others isn't quite the same as frothing at the mouth with the rest when Pavlov rings his bell.
ReplyDeleteIn the first place I'm not so sure you were running an "experiment" at all, Dr. Pavlov. I think you were probably just looking to raise a little hell and you screwed up and got "caught" before you could post some rumors. In fact, I'm wondering if there is some connection between you and the "DC Insider" that remains undisclosed. Any comment?

Whatever you might think of me, Omar, I have more brain power than to create a blog that will draw the ire of Warner Brothers attorneys. At the very least, grant me that I wouldn't put it under the same Google account if I was stupid enough to paint that target on my back.
ReplyDeleteYou can think I have some connection to DCCI if you like. Pretty sure nothing I could say would stop you from drawing that conclusion anyway. I'll tell you who won't share your conclusion: Google & whatever lawyers DC used to get DCCI shutdown.
