The Philebrity Promise: Regarding Truthlessness In Advertising
Promise #318:
Any time you read the following sentence — “There is going to be alot of news and controversy stirred up here, so get ready to be insulted and outraged” — it’s basically code for, “You will never need to read this blog. Like, seriously. Ever.”

Please tell me that “alot” is a direct quote. Throw a ’sic’ in there, or I will lose all faith in Joey Sweeney.

a particular blog seems to be worried about a particular someone’s new blog.

2 things:
1. “alot” is not a word.
2. Paul - stop drinking that Conrad juice. Your pictures are rad, but that bitch can’t even spell his name. Peace!

Conrad got a summer job? How cute!
For what it’s worth, re: “alot” being a word or not, I don’t really think Conrad uses “words.” No. Rather, imagine a bizarro world where our language actually evolved out of emoticons and l00tspeak. If we lived in such a world, Conrad’s prose would have the same treasured cultural significance we grant the Lascaux cave paintings. Or you could see his typing as a schizoid mash up of Charles Peirce’s “Icon, Index, Symbol” typed through a Speak n’ Spell. You choose.

Above post: Genius! and so true.
I once tried to read the aformentioned’s blog. It was like a “LOL Cats” stylebook trainwreck. And the content read like a McMurphy lobotomy.
Note to Conrad-Uggabugga Noose kid: “Hooked On Phonics” is there for you. Now do your homework, Boyeee.
