Love Her or Hate Her/Mouthslutting

I like Dooce. Granted, I do not like everything she writes - some stuff I am just not in her target audience. And that's understandable. Some of the stuff I write people don't like or understand. I like her because she is an excellent writer, and because she has turned her whole life into a brand. I also like her husbands blog. I am definitely in his target audience.

If you don't read Dooce regularly, let me just tell you: The woman gets a lot of hate mail. A LOT. There have been a lot of sites that have cropped up just to tear her a new one. Some of the things they say are things I will admit I have thought in passing over the years. And some of the things they say are downright ugly as hell.

Dooce, aka Heather Armstrong, is one smart cookie though. People often do not give her enough credit.

Recently, she got a little tired of all the hate mail/comments/emails/sites, and started a Hate page on her blog, and then slapped up every single ad she could (or, actually, if we want to give credit where credit is due, her husband Jon slapped up every ad he could find.)

THIS IS FRICKEN BRILLIANT!

I can only read them in small doses, because shit, that is INSANE. What people write to this women is INSANE. I would spend my days in the fetal position if I got that much hate mail!

So yeah, kudos to Jon and Heather for turning something ugly into fun and profit!

And now, for something I wrote down on a piece of paper while sleep walking last night:

"Tell Beth she is a mouth slut. She always put objects in her mouth - pens, pencils, shirts. Tell her she is a mouth slut. This will save her life one day."

The 'this will save her life one day' part was underlined three times to denote ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE. Note that I didn't tell myself to tell her to stop putting stuff in her mouth - only that I need to tell her that she is a mouth slut.

I cannot wait to see the kind of hits I am going to get from writing the term "mouth slut" on here. I am still getting loads of hits from that ONE TIME I mentioned that people kept searching for pictures of my feet on this blog (I am giving you the pervert eye, UK readers! Almost all my "foot fetish" searches come back to IP addresses that are located in the UK. And Nevada [this little revelation will only be humorous to my parents])

Have a great Friday folks - I know my feet and I will!
