Reading and browsing through Rant Rave each day, the subjects are getting worse. Or should I say that the featured top 5's are getting worse. We have blogs about fairy cakes, square eggs and 99ers etc. etc. etc.
As I looked at the site today I saw an article about green freaking, oval barbecue. This barbie got 20,000 plus hits. How unimportant is a green oval barbecue? You could put an old biscuit tin on top of a fire and get the same results.
What about real issues the people that live on the streets, what about the violence and gun culture, the N.R.A., discrimination, sickness, intolerance to things we don't understand, jobs, serial killers, pollution, global warming, war, religion using God as an excuse to anything and justify anything through deliberate misinterpretation of religion?
Would a blogs on 'how comfortable my shoes are', or 'My lawn needs mowing', my niegbours had his hair cut, or my dogs got an itchy arse. Would they get multiple hits like the green barbie?
Now Alex what inspired you to write that article. Did you have a life changing experience with the green tin (or can). Did you have an out door party and your guests were flabbergasted with the success of a cooked burger? Did the big green tin make your processed meat and processed cheese taste better than an ordinary tin can?
Tell me the secret, am I missing something?
