Just in case anyone has had their head up their arse all day, I was featured in a New York Times piece today. Check the business section or... Go online here. I was also on yesterday's Drudge Report. That's funny, I thought I was the Drudge Report of the ad biz!
Never fuck with an Idaho blogger!


I suppose any traffic to your site is good traffic, but c'mon...a small circle of people out there know the truth. And to let this get as large as it is when the blame is as misplaced as it is, is unbelievable to me. Your button under the dashing picture of Ray Milland (?) is apt -- bullshit.

All the bull will pass. It is good (and deserved) that you get those numbers. May the groundswell continue unabated, and also may those that have been feeding off the carcasses of others get their fair share of economic uncertainty and worry. Everyday, for inspiration, I visualize the people we most certainly annoy. Schadenfreude and alcohol is a fine meal.

George- Thanks for your response. I agree w/you. As I said, I definitely think there was more at work here than a few negative comments on a blog. I'm now a subscriber. Larry Vine

Oh George, I hope AdScam really IS to blame for Paul Tilley's suicide.
Because that would mean there's actually some potency and purpose to all this blogging nonsense.
Just imagine: we could clean up this entire business with just a little vitriol.
If we just put our collective minds to it, we may be able to get all the other douchebags throw THEMSELVES off of rooftops.
So who's next? Fowler? Merrin? Huey, Dewey, and Louie? What about Pytka? Or Russo, for that matter?
The list of known ad assholes runs so long, how does one even decide?

Thank god people see you, your posters and your site for what it is. The rantings of bitter small people.
