"The watershed moment for bodysnarking, Ms. Redd says, came a few years ago when Google introduced its advertising program AdSense. 'The program allowed sites to track pages viewed and make ad revenue based on the number of visitors. [Blogger] Perez Hilton realized that nobody cared about his personal shopping trips; they cared when he posted pictures comparing Britney's private parts to a roast beef sandwich.' The masses had spoken: Bodysnarking was now a revenue generator." [WSJ]

duh
Don't insult roast beef sandwiches like that ever again, Perez.
This brings new meaning to the phrase "beef curtain."
@LadlySack: You have beef sandwiches for curtains? What kind of Hansel and Gretel type fantasy land do you live in? Also, is the there a spare room I can crash in?
That must have been the inspiration for this picture: [bc.images.trb.com]
@nevin: The spare room actually has flaky flix shutters, and yes, you're welcome to crash for a while!
Maybe I should be asking this to the woman in the article, but do these parents know that kids can make their facebook profiles private? So, any snarky comments they get there would be from their "friends." And, if you have dick friends, you can just delete 'em.
@hamburgerhotdog: That looks suspicously like Elizabeth Shue, one of the hottest women I have ever considered stalking.
@theEntireInternet: We're not back to discussing facebook again, are we? Gosh dammit!
Yes, the Internet brings out the Construction Worker on Break in all of us. Except, in some cases, without the husky physique one acquires drilling girders.
Plebes like to mock celebrities' foibles?? I refuse to believe this malarkey bollocks!
Correct me if I am wrong, but Perez Hilton serves BlogAds and ROS third party ads, and no Google AdSense.
Why blame google when we all know it was that extra scoop of ice cream?
Gossipboarding?
Also, if this is true, then...why is Perez launching a "clothing line"? Did he forget why people pay attention to him?
@KarenUhOh: I've drilled a few girders in my time, if you're interested.
and a couple yentas, too. Whoops, Constructionian slip!
Pass on the ketchup for tne next photo session, okay Brit?
