TheSuperficial.com Officially "Jumps the Shark"
Jump the shark: Phrase coined in 1997 to describe a defining moment at which a favorite television show has reached its peak, and can only subsequently decline; also describes the moment of decline for any pop culture reference. The phrase, used during the late 1980s, refers to the actual moment in the ABC series Happy Days when the character Fonzie went water skiing and literally “jumped the shark.”
Just yesterday, I was snooping around TheSuperficial.com and was checking out their official business site Anti Clown Media. This is something I always do when I find a website that I like, that has a successful web presence. I was checking out their advertising info and specifically though that this part was hilarious:
“…We believe in connecting special marketers with a special audience. Are you in the business of scamming people with a free iPod gimmick? Then shoot yourself in the face and never come back here ever again. Anticlown Media only accepts advertisers that complement our sites…”
I thought that this was particularly funny, since I’ve recently sworn off of myspace, because of their ridiculously obnoxious talking iphone and ipod gimmick ads.
So, I was catching up on my trashy celebrity gossip on The Superficial today and guess what I saw! A large, gimmicky ipod scam advertisement. Ha.
What a bunch of hypocritical tools…
I took a peek at that site and didn’t take to it much. Too many scummy paparazzi around for my liking.
The comments are pretty strong stuff too. Quite hateful some of it, me no likey.
Ha indeed! Is that the ad that talks too, that one’s supposed to be frigging annoying. Can I say that? Ah bugger, I just did. Edit that if you wish
Talking of which, I tried out Web CEO toady for a client and that bloody well talks too! Damn, I’m in a sweary mood today and I ain’t even pissed off with anybody… LOL
Happy New Year, Summer
Oh, and AntiClown… I like that.. I hate clowns… and that Clown Porn was the epitome of weirdness
Bulbboy – I hear ya…Most of the celebrity trash sites I can’t stand myself. And, the comments, I don’t even bother reading. I hate the jackassery that comes out of peoples mouths when they can hid behind the anonymity of the internet. With that being said, I actually think that The Superficial is funny. I know I have a twisted sense of humor though…for example, this was posted today on The Superficial today and I think it’s hilarious:
“Rosie O’Donnell wrote the following lengthy diatribe on her blog comparing Britney to Princess Diana:
( Rosies blog entry )
Britney Spears and Princess Di really are alike. Remember when Britney went to all those countries on humanitarian missions? Or that time Princess Di flashed her vagina to the paparazzi? Maybe Britney is a clone of Diana. That would explain the British accent. And why she keeps flashing her nipples… My God, Rosie’s right! Get Scotland Yard on the phone. Rosie O’Donnell’s ridiculous amount of free time has done it again. Amazing. I bet she sits at home smoking a pipe and looking into a magnifying glass. “
For the most part I don’t think The Superficial says hurtful things about people, just a bit of satire and silly celebrities.
Lever – What’s up with the talking ads and websites lately? I’m noticing it more and more and it’s SO annoying. Worse then pop ups if you ask me…
hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhaa thats soo spam lolz what idiots >:U
