Basil’s Underpants Gnome Theory of the South Carolina GOP Blogger Scandal

Posted on | May 31, 2010 | 20 Comments

Pretty succinct, really:

I’m going to share the real reason that men become bloggers: Hot Republican Babe Sex. . . .
You may be wanting to know how all this works. Well, here’s the plan:

  1. Start blog
  2. ?
  3. Hot Republican Babe Sex

Of course, being married to Mrs. Other McCain, I began with Step 3.

    There must be some age limit…or sumpin. I don’t get it AT ALL!

    While you might consider yourself prolific (in writing)
    The more prosaic term would be fecund.

    With of course, no aspersions intended towards
    Mrs. OMac and the Others.

    In all honesty, best to you and yours!

    For those who don’t get it, CLICK ON THE QUESTION MARK, it is a link. Yes, it is sort of an age thing, as it is a South Park reference, and their viewers do skew towards a younger demographic.

    Uhhhh, Gnome….I clicked on every link, watched some foolish cartoon that made no sense and came back to see if Smitty could save me. Apparently not. 🙁

    Read the Wiki:

    Following the episode’s release, the underpants gnomes and, particularly, the business plan lacking a second stage between “Collect underpants” and “Profit”, became widely used by many journalists and business critics as a metaphor for failed, internet bubble-era business plans

    In fact, the Underpants Gnomes are referenced in “How to Get a Million Hits on Your Blog” (a/k/a, “The Rules”).
