Ah well, it seems my dastardly and fiendish plan to upset the boffins in Blogrush Towers has failed. I had hoped to leave them with some McDanger-type egg all over their smug false-promisey faces by posting a headline taking the piss out of them, which they would in turn 'syndicate' on blogs all over the world. Thereby sarcastically murdering themselves from within. As explained in Friday's blog, I was all primed to sit back and cackle like a demented megalomaniac, marvelling at my own ingenuity and wishing I wasn't allergic to cats because it's at moments like these that you need a cat about to stroke in satisfied triumph.
Sigh, no dice I'm afraid.
I think the canny folks at Blogrush have special software or something that recognises headlines with their own name in it, especially if there are words in close proximity like 'shite', or 'is full of crap' or even 'are a bunch of chancers.' Therefore, they didn't syndicate my headline.
I am somewhat deflated. I went out on a limb there and I have sensitivities about rejection and failure. I hate trying to be clever and then getting out clevered by computers that aren't supposed to be as clever as I am, even if I did have the last word by dumping the buggers off my site.
Sob. I'm off to the gym to laugh at the mad lad.

Twas a good plan, I'll grant you that :-)
Hopefully now that it's on Digg.com they'll get the message ;-)
Har har. That'll learn 'em.
Ah, cheer up now. Who needs REASONS to cackle like a demented megalomaniac? Go on, let's hear you.
It's all in your perspective anyhow: are BR really clever enough to not syndicate your 'review'...or too dumb to have noticed it in the first place?
Eh? Eh?
You need work at this Megalomaniac business, but you're young yet...stop over, my lessons are only 150/hr (cheaper than your plumber if he's purebred Irish).
Eh? Eh?
