Look, friends, running a website of this quality is not cheap. Sure there’s affordable web hosting, and for reasons I will never fathom the domain name FatalDownflaw.com was on fire sale, but the sheer quantity of alcohol needed to fuel a workplace like this is staggering, and because two out of three of us aren’t pretty girls, alcohol isn’t free. I mean, I guess we could just send Sarah in to flirt us up a few free bottles of Kentucky’s third-from-least finest bourbon, but that’s just no way to live.
So we do what we can to pay the bills (which is to say, first pay Andy – who has been “funemployed” for a while – back for the initial investment he made to get this thing started). One way we pay is with the advertisements in the side bar. Now, we hate ads as much as the next person who isn’t an advertising executive, but so far it’s literally the only thing that’s made any money for us. In the five months or so we’ve been live, we have made an impressive three dollars or so off of those ads. So thanks for paying us with your browsers! Also, if you use AdBlock or a similar plug-in for your browser of choice, go fuck yourself! You’re stealing the food out of Zac’s children’s mouths!
Another great way to support the Fatal Downflaw cause is through the shopping you already do online. You may notice that we’ve added a convenient and stylish Amazon search box to the sidebar on the right of your screen. If you do your Amazon searches through that box we get a little cut of what you spend. It costs you nothing extra, but it helps us steal money from Corporate America, and that’s just got to make you feel good.
The third and most shameful way we raise money here is by placing infographic ads into our posts. I’m a little hazy on how the whole thing works, but the gist is this: we put these infographics on our website, and they give us money. You don’t even have to click them if you don’t want to. Some of them are amusing, some…not so much. They told us it didn’t matter what we write in the articles that contain the infographics, so I’m using this week’s post to tell you how to help enable us to amuse you every weekday with stories about products to make your poop smell better and furious and often incomprehensible political rants.
This is Whore Wednesday, when we post an infographic for money! Whore Wednesday will be an extra post every Wednesday for the next four weeks that will go up in addition to our regular daily article – no sense in short-changing you, the reader, just to keep ourselves and our Russian supermodel girlfriends in cocaine-encrusted caviar. We will strive to make Whore Wednesday as entertaining as we possibly can which, if you’ve been reading our site for some time, is a debatable prospect at the best.
And now, please enjoy our first taste of truly selling out:
I can only surmise that this is some kind of joke this thing from a place that calls itself online education – .org noless!. Even before one expands the graphic one can see that it is not so educated after all – much more resources? – on the other hand, perhaps it is claiming its education all came from the nebulous “online” and not an institution of learning. Moreover, the expansion just makes this graphic readable by old eyes such as mine and offensive to old brains such as mine with the plethora of what appears to be deliberate misspellings up to and including the dyslexic representation of the word “the.” All I can say is WTF?
The Iconograph is funny, but why so spammy online colleges? This is probably the college connection service that has called me a dozen times and I’ve told them each time I am already enrolled..
Caturday! Whee! LOL! KTHNX
