Ann Coulter Sucks (an AdSense Experiment)


So, it's a horribly rainy Sunday in Nashville, and, admittedly, my energy level is depleted. However, even in a state of such laziness, I hope I would never fall to the depths of writing a post devoted solely to trashing Ann Coulter. After all, this is a woman who makes Michael Moore, Bill O' Reilly, and Laura Ingraham all look like bookish, shrinking violet intellectuals by comparison. Excoriating Coulter's ill-informed, tasteless self-aggrandizement deserves a metaphoric cliche beyond shooting fish in a barrel. Perhaps trashing Ann Coulter's talent, integrity, and intellect is more like challenging a cancer-stricken coma victim to a duel by chainsaw. Really, what's the point? It would be like trying to "prove" that Paris Hilton is sexually promiscuous or that Senator Byron "The Plastic Combover" Dorgan purchases hairspray by the metric ton. Why bother, right?

Well, here's the problem. I've started this little blog here and being the capitalist pig that I am, I've decided to put some Google AdSense banners on the site. Yes, I'll soon be building custom furniture from the stacks of hundred dollar bills these ads generate, but here's the problem in the meantime. Great big Ann Coulter banners keep showing up on my site. I realize this is a new blog and there aren't a lot of posts for the Google-bots to crawl through, but come on... Ann Coulter? I mean, don't they (Google) make money when people click the banners, too? Aren't those brainiac algorithms supposed to guess that a site whose link list includes Democracy Now!, Alternet.org, Real Time with Bill Maher, etc., etc., probably isn't cultivating a readership that is dying to read the newest book by a skeletal, attention-starved, right-wing wacko? It should be obvious that I'm hoping to cultivate a readership interested in a bloated, attention-starved, left-wing nut job like myself, right?

In summary, this is a test and only a test. My hope is that by shouting "Ann Coulter Sucks" in my post title, the Google-bots will realize that I am not going after the conservative, so-sexually-repressed-that-I-find-Ann-Coulter-hot demographic. Please take note, Google AdSense, and let's get some blame-America-first, bleeding heart, socialist banners in place, already. After all, I hate to think that Coulter might be getting a cut of the $0.30 my ads have generated thus far.

And right here, just to my left, is an ad for "Ann Coulter - Free." Is that kind of like "Take Ann Coulter, please!"
