Funny Business Ramble



Folk really think the Internets are chopped up into lil manageable bits that let you go all out for attention in one respect but will shield you from off the wall attention. It doesn't work like that. If you deal in, market with and do business off the benefits of sex appeal you will ALWAYS get attention you do not like at some point. Is it right? Not at all but there has to a bit of common sense as to the make up the world we deal in.

If your marketing tool is T & A than no matter how you frame it, no matter what you try and do to weed out stupidity it will never fully work. Look for a strip club with a 100% success rate of patrons not getting too close to dancers. It doesn't exist. Similarly if your blessed with a certain full body type than I'm sorry but if you fault it for clicks and views you are going to deal with repeated questions you don't like. You can post a FAQ section that gives every measurement and inch that a person can ask and you will STILL get a person that refuses to read it.

The Internets are not always as smart as we'd wish them to be but folk have to be a lil bit more realistic with what they're doing. Be clear. This isn't about allowing disrespect but understanding fully the field that you're dealing in.

The Hunger For More Attention

You can replace "Affection" with a series of other words. For many, all they want is for you to acknowledge them. Once you've done that they care little of what you want.....

Amber Rose: Girl Just Wanna Have Fun?????



....just out for some fun at your big name night club, that seems like a simple outfit sure to throw off the media and not attract photographers. I wonder what her homegirls in the back thought of it.

Oh well...

Bloggers, Reporters, Sensationalists,.......



What are you? When you sit at your desk or open your lap top and start pounding those keys what are you doing? Is it business? Leisure? Boredom? What's your subject matter? Random entertainment? Poetry? Social activism? So many questions that can go towards such a simple thing that we do. We blog. Categorize it into any sub level you like but it's blogging. I do this because my mind races. I work with a minimum of 6 tags open, multiple program screens, downloads, media players, photo editing, etc......I've been aiming my mind's endless wave of activity online since before the new millennium started. In that 10+ yrs of expression and it's many evolutionary stages, I learned early that there is a responsibility that must be respected when u put things into the public. Be it your own business or that of others.

What is the line that you refuse to cross? What is a blog worthy post that you will never publish? Whats off limits? I ask these questions due to the following....

Critiquing the attention YOU secretly want.



On many of these blogs the most interesting thing is the comment section. How will folk respond to the thoughts thrown out or at times celebrity "news" that is being reported(recycled in some cases). Sometimes its hate, curiosity or compassion but 1 thing I notice a lot are the "she/he's just crying for attention" bandwagon riders. Every time something out of the ordinary happens that person is "trying too hard" or "Looking for more publicity" and I have to ask myself, How do sooooo many people with no public image or any image worth paying attention to have so much to say about those that do have a public persona?

I'm starting to think that many(not all) of those folk are just deep down envious and picking at something they long far and don't have. Much of this viral world is about the human condition that wants to be seen and acknowledged. And for some seeing other repeatedly in that spotlight hits a sore spot for them. It's basically like saying "I don't get that kind of attention so screw you have getting so much of it"

Don't get it twisted, attention whores are alive and well on and offline but I think we need to turn the skepticism down a bit and reserve it for those that really fit the bill......*cough*Tila Tequila*cough*
