blog.hotornot.com. call it a sophomoric joke. but i'm betting everyone included in the beauty pageant is afraid of a low rating. the only thing about this i find surprising is that neale hasn't done it already. (via victor.)

Perfect. I have submitted. Self-loathing isn't enough for me. I want all to loathe me. Loathe me, won't you? Request a special negative rating just for my blog.

...and double his negative rating for me! I want zeros across the board, people!

hmm... i don't think the time it takes me to judge a blog meshes well with the spontaneity that the 'hot or not' paradigm encourages...

Yeah, I'm with kai. The joy of hot or not is split-second judgement, which I steadfastly refuse to do with blogs until I've consumed the whole front page. However, I realize as content-lovers we're probably in the minority. I'll duly keep clicking til I get empty bottle and eeksy peeksy...

my blog is used to pass coded messages to terrorists throughout the world. a low rating doesn't bother me.

And we terrorists thank you for your dedication and your pretty cat illustrations.

Is it bad to base my self-worth on the rating my blog gets?
