Where Shrill Meets Shrill

Tuesday, October 5th, 2004

Am I the only blogger who has Blogads pitching George Soros and Ann Coulter?

The Soros ad expires tomorrow.

    Ooooh, yeah…there’s nothing like Ann Coulter in leather.

    Am I the only one that sees an uncanny resemblance between Soros’ blogad photo and the Kim-Jong puppet in Team America?

    Yeah, I was just about to comment on that. What the hell? I hope that imbicile/whoredemon paid you a big fat wad of cheez for that spot, Balko. I’m talking FAT, like, “paid for a new living room set” fat. After having read your account of her speech, I figured the last one you’d have an ad for is her.

    I’m somewhat surprised my web browser didn’t spontaneously combust when those two ads showed up next to each other.

    Evan: Just think about all the money that is being wasted by AC’s publisher expecting that ad to sell books on this site. Let me put it this way: Would you rather have the ad on a site where it would actually be effective? :)

    My wife is in the media business so maybe I have a bias, but the first thing I thought when I saw the AC ad was, “What idiot didn’t do their due diligence when deciding where to put that ad?”

    My second thought was, “I hope Balko milks her for every penny she’s dumb enough to spend here.”

    Maybe her people think she can convert a few libertarians by advertising here…?

    Rocketscientist:

    Now that you put it that way, it sounds like a nice little evil plan. bwah ha ha!

    Six comments about Ann and one about George. She does market herself well. I have purchased all her books. I fail to see why you guys hate her so much…

    You might call her many things but stupid doesn’t describe her.
