Porn Blog

What the heck kind of title is that!!???

I know that's what you are asking yourself, admit it.
You know you came here looking for porn.

No?

Well, someone did. Make that 2 people.

If you go to the right-hand side of the page and scroll down a bit,
you will see something called "Feedjit".
This shows me (and anyone else who might be interested)
where the readers of this nonsense come from.
For the most part, it is pretty typical stuff:
Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Ohio, etc.
I know who some of the few people who read this thing are.

But then I saw something veeeeeery interesting.
Yesterday, someone from Ontario, Canada popped in.


"Whoo-hee!! My fame is spreading!!", I said to myself.

Then today, an even more remote place - Wuhan, Hubei.
Where the hell is Wuhan, Hubei?
Heck, I never even heard of Hubei.

So, off I go to Google.........

Turns out Hubei is an east-central provence in China....

....and is the location of the famous Three Gorges Dam,
the largest hydroelectric power station in the world.
Begun in 1993 and completed in 2008, it will still undergo modifications until 2011.

Dam construction in this area is important to control the Yangtze River,
the longest river in Asia, whose flooding results in catastrophic loss of life:

"
The most recent major floods were the 1998 Yangtze River Floods,
but more disastrous were the 1954 Yangtze River Floods,
killing around 30,000 people. Other severe floods included those of 1911,
which killed around 100,000, 1931 (145,000 dead), and 1935 (142,000 dead)."

(Those numbers would have been incomprehensible before the Christmas tsunami.)

Wuhan is Hubei's capital.

It looks like a lovely city. Fascinating stuff. But I digress.

So, yeah, I fully expected Hollywood to start calling.
After all, I am known to the ends of the earth.

Okay, so this doesn't make a lick of sense to me either,
and you're thinking I must be off my rocker.
So I looked closer.

Both these "readers" came to my blog via Google Images.

Hmmmmm.

And they were both directed by Google Images to a specific post,
namely the one with the b00b picture.

So my international readers are nothing more than people* looking for breasts,
or more specifically,
hands grabbing at breasts.

Not exactly the target demographic I had in mind,
if you know what I mean.

Sigh, there goes my fame & fortune.

*I originally had some far less flattering descriptors here,
but then I thought, wait now, what if I am jumping to conclusions?

After all, if you think about it,
I had to have Googled the same thing to find the picture for my post in the first place,
but I Googled entirely for intellectual purposes.
I had to illustrate a point.
I wasn't looking for porn.
Honest.

Just goes to show you -
be careful what you put on the damn internet.
It can come back and bite you in the ass.

But, to think, someone in China knows about me now,
even if they only looked at my blog for all of 10 seconds.
Cool. It really is a small world,
as my friend Rosie also found out.
