Weight Loss Blog!
Every generic news site I’ve visited recently displayed this AS SEEN ON RACHELRAY weight loss ad (”FLAT STOMACH RULE: obey” or similar). I’ve lost weight and thus know how to do it, so rather than thinking “Wow, this must be a hint!”, I just ignored it like a bright boy.
A few minutes ago, however, for the sheer perversity of it all, I clicked the ad and found myself at “Nicholle’s Weight Loss Blog”. The very friendly welcome paragraph identified her as “Nicholle Stevenson from Clarksville, TN”.
Now, people from this podunk city have in fact appeared on national talk shows, but, naaaaaaaaah.
So I checked the web page from a datacenter in Texas, and she was “Nicholle Stevenson from Houston, TX”, and I checked the web page from a datacenter at work and she was “Nicholle Stevenson from Uppsala, 21″ (Sweden, she has your number!), and so forth and so on.
Disgusting. Sadly, unsurprising.
