Here is an interesting read on the current state of this blonde joke and how it propogated. Apparently, I'm node 35.

Lastly, these jokes tend to attrack a lot of commenters with two digit IQs. Beware.

I am a bit hungover, but is this not just a bit shit?

I am unsure.

damn, this is annoying. Not that this was the first time i saw this, but it's still annoying the hell out of me.

I am reading your feed in _my_ freetime, using _my_ energy, and you're essentially wasting some of that with this kind of posts. Should I unsubscribe now?

Hauke, I laughed when I first saw it. Why not you?

I thought it was clever and ingenius.... which is why I shared it with everybody.

My IQ must be too low to access the joke. Firefox doesn't handle it very well at all, and it crashes my IE. This is giving me a flashback to my childhood where everybody else would be laughing at something but nobody would tell me the joke.

I'm desperately trying to find you funny...but you're not. Half the stuff you write is a wank. Like most of us bloggers I think you like the sound of your own voice too much. But you're probably a great bloke to have a drink with. Less is more.

Wow, Lambe, surely it would be easier to just go read a "truly funny" blog instead? One that matches your exacting standards more closely?

What, are you a masochist?

Posted by: hugh macleod at January 18, 2006 4:48 PM

People really need to lighten-up. It's a joke. When did everyone get so serious?

Posted by: David Paull at January 18, 2006 5:17 PM

Don't all bloggers like the sound of their own voice? Isn't that why people blog?

... and after all it brought me back to your page.
shall i surf again?

It's the first time that I see something _first_ in the Spanish-speaking bit of the blogosphere and somewhere else, only later. Unusual.

scoble's link is broken so it sort of comes to a quick dead end...

Great fun. Good one Hugh.

I am not ashamed to say I got sucked in for longer then I should have. My only defense is that I'm tired and feeling poorly. Very funny though!

I'm a blonde with (evidentally) a 2 digit IQ and wondered for awhile...did I miss something? But now I get it. ha ha ha and one more ha!

It is funny (sort of), it is marketing (of a type), and I do love lots of the links you provide.......but, being a regular viewer of your site I do wonder - where is your trust with your customer? Where is the love?

Posted by: dawbie at January 19, 2006 5:26 AM

I'm a blonde but I don't mind reading blonde jokes (though I don't see anything funny in most of them).

But your link to the joke doesn't seem to work properly. I clicked all the links I could find but I couldn't get to the joke.

I seem to be going round in circles. And I wanted to get to the joke because you said it is the best ever.

Can you fix your link please so I can get the joke?

It's probably more fun if you don't get it right away. Oh well.

So the "blonds" just keep clicking the link and then reveal themselves on your page while meanwhile increasing the number of hits to the participating pages. Isn't that a tad depressingly manipulative?

Posted by: Steve Griffiths at January 22, 2006 3:25 PM

Steve, I don't honestly think "increasing traffic" was the main factor driving this.
