Money and Recognition
Posted by Frank J. at 05:35 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (36)

When I wrote the "PREVIOUSLY ON IN MY WORLD" part to my In My World™ post today, I decided out of whimsy to add a "SPONSORED BY" part and chose Harvey's Bad Money since he occasionally throws a couple bucks my way when he really likes an IMW and was the first loser (i.e., came in second place) for the infamous permalink contest. Now, I'm thinking of making it a permanent feature. For the current asking price of five dollars, you can earn yourself a place in In My World™ history by sponsoring a post. I already have a taker for the next one, but I'll accept for the three after that as well (one per customer). The procedure will be to e-mail me with the subject "SPONSORSHIP" plus what you would like your sponsorship ad to say (I'm going to say up to 100 characters, html tags not counting, i.e., you can have as many hyperlinks in it as you want). If I approve your sponsorship, you will then need to send me the five bucks through paypal along with the text of the ad in the notes. Do not send money by paypal before approval (unless you just like giving me money). This will be first come, first serve. Later, I'll decide whether to discontinue this or to take more sponsors (and maybe raise the price - Muh ha ha ha!).

Jonah Goldberg has not responded to my hate mail. It is safe to assume I have reduced him to a quivering spineless mass. Soon I will be the most recognized, humorous conservative in the blogosphere! Muh ha ha ha!

According to me Extreme Tracking, I should pass the one million mark for unique visitors this coming month. As celebration, I will have a new permalink contest. This one will have only one round to it, as contestant will be selected by a random number generator from those who apply. There will also be a twist to this one and maybe enough prizes that I'll let people without blogs apply to compete too. More details later. Muh ha ha ha!

Well, that really didn't require an evil laugh, but I was trying to keep up the tempo.

Evil laughs are absolutely neccessary when it comes to promoting yourself. Anyway, I would pay for the IMW thing, but being poor because of college and all...meh.

If you skipped eating ramen noodles for eight weeks, that would be five bucks right there.

mmmmm...ramen noodles

Ben, maybe he could just borrow your's since you don't seem to be using it.

Its clearly defective.

Are you taking sign-ups for the permalink contest yet? If so, then

FIRST!

You can never have too many permalinks from IMAO.

#8 - Posted by: Harvey on January 31, 2004 09:37 AM

I think you better double check that money that Harvey tossed in your tip jar, Frank--it's probably rejected graffiti currency.... ;)

#9 - Posted by: Susie on January 31, 2004 12:10 PM

Harvey,
I won't take sign ups until I explain the details. You will get special consideration since you were first loser of the last.

#10 - Posted by: Frank J. on January 31, 2004 04:29 PM

So...I just watched a TV programme about Iraq in the aftermath of the "Liberation" and it made me angry about your little website. Not that it matters - I know you don't care, and you're all tall, tanned and American, with great teeth. (Maybe a little on the fat side, but, hey, it's Florida, who's going to notice?)

It was just that, watching that programme, the ludicrous "Whup-ass" stuff on this site got turned into reality, and stopped being funny. REAL dead people. REAL dead kids. (And all better-looking than the average American. Why do you bother putting braces on their teeth when they still end up fat and hideous?)

"Whup-ass?" In the history of mankind there's never been such a chicken-shit bunch of arseholes as the the inhabitants of the U.S.A. (Don't hurt me, I've got a big gun.") Oh yeah, I understand the Gun Lobby now...

Anyway, you don't care, I don't care. I feel better, you feel, errm, nothing. I just want to make a couple of suggestions:

1)if you're all frightened of people hurting you, (and you obviously are) why don't you just get back to the U.S. and stay there?

2)if people hate you and want to kill you, maybe you could figure out what it is that you do that pisses them off, and, uh, stop doing it.

I just thought it made economic sense, if nothing else.

Bye now.

Davy, get over yourself. The only difference between you and us is that the reality hit home for us a long time ago and Americans decided to actually *do* something about it.

#12 - Posted by: scooby on January 31, 2004 05:51 PM

(BTW, I know Americans are supposed to be incapable of recognizing irony, so I won't point out the fact that a Red Coat is accusing Americans of being imperialistic and elitist.)

#13 - Posted by: scooby on January 31, 2004 05:54 PM

I know that Americans are capable of recognising irony. If you were stupid there'd be an excuse for you. But there's no excuse - you've come from the louse-infested heaving of Ellis Island to flame-grilled infant Whoppers in Baghdad in, well, not much time at all. Just go back home. There's nothing we want from you but your silence. Nobody really hates you. Nobody wants to kill you. Just shut up and fuck off.

#14 - Posted by: Davy on January 31, 2004 06:56 PM

And... you may be capable of recognising irony, but you certainly can't recognise your own troops. I love those "friendly fire" stories - keep 'em coming Ace! Over here in Yoorp we just love to take the edge off our irrelevance by counting those body-bags comin' home. Yee-hah!

#15 - Posted by: Davy on January 31, 2004 07:05 PM

Some obsess with avoiding evil, but the greater virtue is try and do good.

#16 - Posted by: Frank J. on January 31, 2004 08:09 PM

My point that I was going to make exactly. The thing is that we are not cowards, unlike some..er..many in this world. Where is the honor in standing idle because one believes that if one does nothing, then nothing will happen to you again? Such idiocy will be the death of us all. NEVER believe in that naive optomism of this true "peace."

#17 - Posted by: Liberal Beater on January 31, 2004 09:26 PM

Davy's just jealous that the British Empire is now confined to one small island and a colony on the Spanish coast.

Davy's suffering a severe case of envy. Little of any good is accomplished in this world withour U.S. leadership, sweat, blood, and, yes, big American guns. Big American guns saved British ass in 1917 and 1945.

Obviously, Davy's not the man his Prime Minister is nor is he worthy of the sacrifices of Her Majesty's armed forces.

#18 - Posted by: MAJ Mike on January 31, 2004 09:41 PM

Davy also is unable to communicate without punctuating his speech with the F word. However, he apparently has discovered the Democrat's method of talking through his ass. Rave on, Davy.

We'll remember that the next time the Germans are bombing the shit out of your pitiful little island.

Tell that to the families of the 3000+ people that died on September 11, 2001. You ignorant piece of Euro-excrement.

...Or Davy's just a flaming loser who found your Website and wanted to whine a little. Let's simply forget his existance.

Besides, he's probably just some smart-mouth obese kid with braces living in Kansas with a computer and no social life.

Not that there's anything wrong with braces or Kansas. Now obesity, yes, gross.

Obesity is great! (I'm trying to sell some 3XL shirts over here)

Politically irresponsible, despotic, capitalist organisations now exert themselves to steal real power from democratic bodies elected by and for the peoples of humanity ---the wild farcical exuberance of the electoral theft that occurred in the US in November 2000 being merely the most palpable instance of a coup d’État permanent. Such misanthropic conglomerates infest the Troika (Europe, USA and Japan) where local peoples undergo massive brainwashing, near-irreparable subservience, socio-cultural rape and identity loss. Capital and power concentration was rendered possible as a result of the recent IT revolution. It is going to be enhanced even further through human life merchandisation as the effect of human genome privatisation and human body patentability. “Market” absolutism has outsmarted fascism and communism. For “market” dictatorship is hard to sell even to ingenuous victims, marketocrats are wild about the globalisation buzzword ---referring to a process that is, however, neither included in nor linked with marketisation as worldwide economic integration precedented “free”-“market” dogma.

As the fantastic Iraqi imposture shows, ultraconservative economism is deception and thievery. The unmitigatedly anachronistic notion of colonial possession is overtly looked down on and substituted for an incongruous mix of compassionate, fuzzy, maudlin op-ed philippics spouted at home and coarse plundering on the spot. Marketocrats want to extirpate natural resources and deracinate popular culture from sovereign territories. Nature and culture are not separate spheres: mankind is their porous border. That comes out right ! Marketocracy have plans for them too: mass unemployment, underemployment, transient employability, precarity, overexploitation, exclusion and clochardisation. Even children are the object of much solicitude on the part of corporate advocates of global economic liberty: no less than 300 million minors are handed over to bestial greediness. For market ayatollahs, juvenile workforce is a simple adjustment variable. As is financial criminality caused by the business sector, big banks, tax heavens and mafias. Criminal economic “freedom” yields compassionately-conservative thugs a good trillion euros per year: more than the cumulative GDP of one third of humanity, more than 12 % of US GDP.

[This crazy rant will be temporarily interrupted to bring you a message from Colt Firearms.

Colt - Because there are people who are alive who shouldn't be.

Now back to your regularly scheduled rant already in progress.]

The extravagant merchandisation of words and things, bodies and souls, plus nature and culture is leading to more discrepancies. In 1960 people living in the richest countries (20 % of world population) earned 30 times as much as did the 20 % poorest in the world. In 1995 the income of the highest 20 % of the same well-off group was then 82 times higher than the lowest 20 %. In more than 70 countries, the income per capita has fallen to what it was 20 years ago. Today 3 billion people (half humanity) live with less than 2 euros a day. Admittedly the current affluence of goods never happened before anywhere on earth. Yet homelessness and hunger are on the rise. One third of the 4 ˝ billion people living in developing countries are not provided with drinking water. One fifth of children are not absorbing enough calories or proteins. Two billion people ---one third of humanity--- are anaemic. According to a study by the Organisation of the United Nations (OUN), a 4-% tax levied on the wealth accumulated by the 225 world-richest people would be enough to meet basic needs ---food, drinking water, education and health--- of the entire human population. Thirteen billion euros only are wanted to meet sanitary and nutritional needs of humanity. Every year, Unitedstatians and Europeans spend 13 billion euros in… perfumes.

Even solid organisations such as states may be overthrown by marketocrats. The irony lies in the fact the removal of weakest states caused by marketocracy brings about the outbreak of religiocracy, a rival to ultraconservatism. Marketocrats and religiocrats want the same world. They are competitors, not enemies. Collective-imaginary metaphrases like bin Laden and Bush are quite interchangeable. Competition between “economic” and “religious” bigots has caused the proliferation of countless, ominous lawless areas. Novel ungovernable chaotic entities surface. Barbarous realities backfire to the detriment of the pseudo-postmodern sycophants of modelled economism. Ivory towers, too, can fall…

For all that typing and all those big words, I'm still wondering if it actually said anything that made sense...

#26 - Posted by: Asi on February 1, 2004 11:32 AM

I got lost after the first couple sentences.

#27 - Posted by: Frank J. on February 1, 2004 11:45 AM

Yeah, I like a salad. A baked potato with some cream cheese and chives. That is what he was talking about right?

#28 - Posted by: overlord on February 1, 2004 12:33 PM

Until I see that all nations are better off than the US, I will believe them. Until then, stop being hypocritical about us. I will not stand up for your socialistic and communistic ideas. It is not right that everyone should live the same, finacially that is. Some deserve it more than others, for they have fought for it. Do you see us Americans saying, "Oh, I wish we were like France because they live in harmony and they are better than us"? NO! Whoever says that are idiotic leftists and anti-americans in this country that are blinded by that rubbish.

#29 - Posted by: Liberal Beater on February 1, 2004 01:46 PM

Thanks for clearing that up for me, Libby, your use of our language does you credit, particularly as you have obviously gained your knowledge of it by monitoring the radio transmissions of extremely stupid people.

And I may have got a little out of hand in here last night, you know, I'd had maybe a little too much to drink, and the pictures on the television...and and it seemed like I'd, you know, uh, upset some people - I'd just like to take the opportunity of saying, uh, Ahahahahahahahahha. (And I'm not an obese kid from Kansas. Maybe a little jowly these days, is all. And I have a girlfriend and everything.)

Luv you. Mwah.

#30 - Posted by: Davy on February 1, 2004 05:01 PM

"1)if you're all frightened of people hurting you, (and you obviously are) why don't you just get back to the U.S. and stay there?"

Good point, Davy - albeit forever preserved under your hat. Would that even make sense? They "hurt us" on our own soil...So we eliminate their capability to hurt us or anyone else again. Now we mop up, tie-off loose ends, and the world is a bright and happy place again. Yea America!

Oh and yeah, your damn right we have "big guns." Your little anger problem is obviously a manifestation of latent penis envy...

"2)if people hate you and want to kill you, maybe you could figure out what it is that you do that pisses them off, and, uh, stop doing it."

Now little Davy... People hate us because we live FREE, and we're not about to give that up anytime soon. (Didn't we already prove that to you Eurotwats a time or two?) Of course we have our own dim-witted Euro-sympathetic liberals who would like us to be more "compassionate" to those who hate us - perhaps even to bow down to the evil will of the Unite Nations. But whilst they're off hugging trees, we'll take care of them, too. All in due time.

Now, just stand right there and hold this sign...

#31 - Posted by: Rubber(Red)neck on February 2, 2004 12:46 PM

Asi -

Wonder no more...I parsed that sucker up above, and I can tell you with supreme assurance, ol' "marketocrats" was just passin' wind.

Davy, the reason no one cares what you think is because your huge revelation came from watching television.
