    Don't put this all on bloggers. Payola is not a concept native to blogging. Plenty of print publications and newspapers have been guilty of the same thing, where was the FTC then?

    As little of a fan as I am about the blogger shilling, honestly, the FTC stepping in even more horrifying. Surely they have more important shit to fry than meddle with this nonsense...

    I am reminded of the great Malomar kerfluffle of '05. Commenter was executed under suspicion of being an agent for the evil Mars Candy empire and, hello, what's this? A check! Remember, they're chrunchety and chocolatety handfuls of goodness!

    @blix: Yeah but everything's a kerfluffle when it comes to Mallomars. A creamy white kerfluffle atop a sweet shortbread cookie coated in milk chocolate. Mallomars. No one does kerfluffle quite like it!

    also, how come the lady mags and their corrupt beauty editors / shills are exempt; should they not be swept up in this, too?

    @Banjo-Sea Kitten:


    This might be a slick operation. Remember how she's been working her dog into her photos a lot lately, as if to say: "Hi I'm Julia and I'm a dog person. Animals and I relate well to one another. Look at that silly girl, she had a little accident on the carpet."


    Flash forward to Sea World. Damn, it's working... they know there will be blowback, but it doesn't matter because good or bad it spreads the brand.

    Yeah, they get a sweet young woman like Julia with the headband and the purse dog and she asks the SeaWorld P.R. department, "Are you mean to animals?" and the brand is spread like so much marine fecal run-off (into the bay near where I live).

    I'm still baffled at how this seemed appealing to her, but a free trip to Dublin didn't. I guess it truly does take diff'rent strokes to move the world.

    Um am I the only who could give a shit if she's getting paid or not? We are all adults here. If she is getting paid for a trip to Florida, why should I care? At this point Julia has made herself a walking Social Media experiment and interesting one at that since apparently Gawker can't get enough of her.


    And hell if Sea World wants to pay my ass to visit and hang out with the dolphins and all I need to do is post on Twitter about, I'll jump at that.

Its a bit ridiculous for us to scream about journalist integrity to a woman who steals quotes from Carrie Bradshaw. Ick.

    @ArtfulSlinger: She's missing the part of her brain that feels logical and embarassment. She's a sociopath, self-centered, she probably can't keep true eye contact. She doesn't experience a "world" where there are "souls" other than her. She thinks we're all just bots she can manipulate and take advantage of.
