Because poops rhymes with oops.

11 Jun

One of my friends cracked me up with an unexpected email this week. In the middle of a conference call, I opened a note from her and the subject line was “If I had no internal sensor…” That alone should’ve warned me not to proceed with a mouth full of Diet Dew. I almost choked. The message?

My status update would now read: “Doodie coming.”

I’m sorry, but that’s FUNNY. Who doesn’t enjoy bathroom humor, especially when it comes from a woman?

I just wish she didn’t have professional “friends” connected to her via Facebook. Because the rest of us would’ve rioted to see that as a bonafide status.

A List: Sadly, this is how people find me…

Something I enjoy about blogging (almost as much as the writing itself) is the information I can access behind the scenes – like statistics about how many visitors I’ve had, which posts have been read the most, and – perhaps most curiously – which search engine terms have led people to my blog. Here are a few of those search terms that stood out to me, categorized for your viewing pleasure…

Bathroom Humor

OK. Based on these terms (and the fact that the majority of searches that led people to my site were tied to toilet humor) I’m thinking that I might need to lay off the teenage bathroom humor and shore up a more respectable reputation:

  • may cause anal leakage
  • wise fart quotes
  • feek and destroy (Seriously – I can’t believe someone strung this together.)
  • what is a slogan with the word flush in it
  • slogans to get people to flush the toilet (Sounds like someone has a bad work bathroom.)

Non-Sequitors

For most of these terms, I had to do a bit of a head-scratcher to figure out which posts they even led people to.

  • how much do the dancers make on dancing (Do we think there’s a sixteen year old out there contemplating a summer job at Deja Vu?)
  • cockroach tomato (I’m going to skip dinner at *their* house.)
  • person with sucker on forehead (I would love it if this person were actually looking for an image of someone with a lollipop on their face.)

Potential Fetishes?

So for these, the most plausible explanation is that the searchers using these terms have fetishes of some sort. Because otherwise, I can’t for the life of me figure out why someone would search for these terms together:

  • lady sits tub of milk
  • squirting moving clips
  • girls pre panties
  • only pissy

…Including blow-up dolls and whores?

C’mon. Give us YOUR interpretation of this ad.

Online Marketing at Its (Questionable) Finest

3 Jan

This ad popped up after I sent an email from my Yahoo account today.

Question for you: What is the FIRST thought you have when looking at it?

If you’re anything like me, your thought sequence was something like this:

Holy shit! Why is there a serial killer in my email?

Wait. Is that Jesus?

<Skimmed headline>

Huh? What does this guy have to do with me going back to school?

Hold on… are we supposed to infer that people who make less than $45k look like this?

In any event, I can’t imagine that this ad correlates to a strong response rate. It seems to me, they’ve gone for a pretty specific audience. Unless, of course, Jesus, a serial killer, or college drop-outs who smoke a ton of weed are interested in going back to school. In which case: well done, Degrees.ClassesUSA.com!

(And yes, apparently it was *somewhat* effective, because I clicked through to see who the sponsor was.)
