A Word About Our Sponsors….
Posted Under: Pathetic
Actually, they aren’t your sponsors. The advertisers don’t give you any money. They work on behalf who want to take your money. Therefore, they or the companies they represent have nothing to do with me or the content here at Pathetic Rhetoric. I don’t want anything from you.
At no point should any reader assume that I endorse any of the products or services that randomly advertise on this page. Given the opportunity to do so, I would turn the offer down like a Vegas chambermaid does a bedspread - flat. So don’t ask.
Those of you who know me personally can vouch for my deep abiding suspicion of the real purposes of advertising. It goes beyond just money and commerce. It colonizes imaginations, slaughtering creativity, independent thought, and self-esteem. It’s a bucket of festering shit on a bed of roses.
That being said, consider advertising on this site detente. Companies spend more and more money on advertising every year, much more than I can imagine. They’ll get their’s no matter what I say. I’m not spreading falsehood about their stuff and if you ever think so, you misunderstand me. Nothing I say should really be taking seriously. It’s all fiction. Except when I say explicitly, like now, I’m just fooling around. In a serious manner, but fooling around nonetheless.
I really do hate the pervasive, patronizing, spirit-crushing, brainwashing nature of advertising. Bare in mind, though, I like the rest of the world, need to buy things from time to time. For that, I need money. If an ad catches your attention, by all means, click it! Please. Part of the proceeds go the the Feed a Starving Artist Fund, i.e. yours truly. Each click helps me pay for a carton of orange juice, the tip at a restaurant, the new book I’m reading. You get the picture.
So, though I reject contemporary commercial values, I ask that you do click on the ads and decide for yourself. Don’t let me spoil your good time. And remember, the more you do, the closer I get to being a full-time entertainer of people in the comfort of my home. This means I’m not out driving as much and, therefore, everyone is much safer. It’s about public safety, people. So do the world a favor and take me off its hands. Click on it.
Happy reading!
