Go figure

January 15, 2009

One of the neat things about WordPress is that it gives you all kinds of stats on who visited your blog. I was looking at these stats earlier and discovered that I’ve had 1771 people visit here. That’s about 1771 more than I expected. Not only does WordPress tell me how many people visited but it breaks down the information in about a billion ways. One of those ways is that it tells me what words or phrased people used in a search engine that lead them to my site. Seems that the most popular search engine query that lead people to my site was “Nobama”(371 hits). Makes sense. I did a Nobama graphic and whatever search engine they used linked to it. The second most popular was “Obama Llama”(215 hits). I have a pic of an Obama Llama here so that makes sense as well. From there it starts going downhill. The search phrase “Bathrooms health” lead someone to my blog. I take that back. Not someone. Some people. There were 3 searches that used those words to bring people here. I could go on but I think I’ll just do a cut and paste the list. My personal favorite is “Car seat on the roof”.

Is a twelve year old running PETA?

January 14, 2009

Well, it’s been a while since I posted on my blog. It’s not that I had other important things to do, it just boils down to laziness on my part. Maybe I can do better this time. At least until I get bored again.

I read an interesting news story. Seems PETA wants us to start calling fish “Sea Kittens”. They seem to believe that if we call them that we will no longer want to eat them. Who wants to eat kittens? Apart from a few Asian countries my guess is no one.

I’m not really certain who is running PETA but the whole “Sea Kitten” has Junior High School written all over it. Great idea if you’re a twelve year old girl. Crappy idea if you’re an adult.

I actually agree with PETA on certain issues but stunts like this do not help their image with the public. God help us if this idea works. Soon everyone will be renaming things. They might start calling Hamas “Desert Squirrels” or illegal immigrants “Undocumented Fluffy Bunnies”. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about this though. Associating fish with something cute and fluffy isn’t going to change people’s actions. Just look at what they do to baby Harp Seals and they really are cute and fluffy.
