**** Is A Dick

I think I accidentally tripped over some kind of social experiment yesterday.  I'll explain.

I was walking through the back room and Jan had the television on as background noise while she was doing something for school.  "CSI Miami" was on, and for some reason, I sat down for a minute to watch it.  David Caruso was doing a scene, and I dislike him with a vengeance, but I watched anyway.

Later I was doing something in the garage when I thought "David Caruso is a dick".  So I went upstairs and wrote a post on my other blog with that title.  It only took about 5 minutes, and my other blog is where I just throw quick thoughts out, because I don't like Twitter.

So, last night, I was wrapping things up before I turned in and thought I would check my sitemeter on both blogs, because I think it's cool to see who has tripped across them and how they got there.  My eyes kind of bugged out when I looked at the number of hits I received on the "David Caruso Is A Dick" post.  I had more hits on that one post than I get on both blogs in a month!  Now ... no one commented, which I thought was strange, but they were definitely looking at it.

I sat there and wondered "why"?  There were only two answers.  One; either a lot of people loathe David Caruso as much as I do, or Two; people gravitate to something with "Is A Dick" in the title.  I googled "David Caruso" and got some things titled "David Caruso is a douchebag", "David Caruso Sucks" and "Fuck David Caruso"; but I'm not so sure that was the draw.  I think it was "**** Is A Dick" that caused the sitemeter overload.

If this is true, then it stands to reason that one could increase traffic on his or her blog by simply adding "Is A Dick" to any post title.  Let's try that with my post yesterday:  "Suddenly This Summer Is A Dick!"  Yes, that has a nice ring to it.

Better yet, I can take one of my orphaned blogs and just re-title it "Is A Dick", and put any crap that I want to in there, and no one will care.

Genius!
