I found an old post I wrote last year (when I was in a ridiculous mood) called Men’s Health, which never really caused as much commotion as I had hoped, so I forgot about it. Taboo subjects can be useful tools.
Tip of the Week
As most of my Twitter followers know, I put two original posts up a day during the week, one of which is brand-new content and typically posted early in the morning. Around lunchtime, I make another OBG (Oldie But Goodie) post, where I attempt to get more readership and site walk-through by Tweeting older content (given I have over one thousand posts, it is not hard to find 7 posts a week for this). Sometimes I mine ancient posts and have to clean them up a lot (edit out parts, add viable tags, etc.), which helps clean up my site overall, so it is a worthwhile exercise.
This week I went searching for Christmas-related old(er) posts. I tripped across my Men’s Health post again and decided it would be an excellent candidate for Re-Tweeting, since I loved the humour in it and enjoy reading some of my sillier posts, so I tweeted it on Monday. Taboo subjects? Not anymore.
Taboo Subjects?
As part of this content resurrection program, I ask for some of my blog helpers to retweet the content and such. However, most of them have left this post alone and did not reTweet it, due to my copious use of Double Entendres and the topic being Erectile Dysfunction.
One friend posted it to StumbleUpon. However, they then said if they got banned for posting Adult content, I was in deep trouble! Digg did not seem to take the initial post either (although I note now it does have a Digg vote). None of my associates Dugg or did anything else to the post, so there it sits, un-pushed, even though I think it is a fun post.
The story’s moral is that you can get a little too controversial, even when you think you are just being silly!
Are there any Taboo Subjects left?
