I'm Selling Out!
That's right, The Man has gotten to Wenchie and turned me into an even cheaper whore. I was approached and am being paid -- PAID -- to run some ads on my blog. I am capitalist scum and couldn't be more pleased!
Don't be mad at me, darlings. Don't shake your head in woe. Don't loose any more respect for me that you already have. There will always be plenty of Wenchie goodness -- barf stories, poop stories, vaginas, mockery. I'm not going to compromise my writing style because someone doesn't like me saying Fuck.
(Yes, because Fuck is a style. I'm such an ignoramous.)
Ever since I was a little girl and wrote my first poem about a mermaid, I've dreamed of being a real life writer. This blog has allowed me to reach an audience of questionable taste without the hassle of having to actually publish a book. Or write one, for that matter.
And NOW, not only am I doing what I love, but I'm doing it half-assed and getting PAID for it! God, I love this country!
Believe me, you don't have to be envious of my wealth. It's a paltry sum that's not going to change my lifestyle or anything. I asked for it all in quarters, so it seems like more. It's really just the idea of being paid that I'm jazzed about.
Oh, who am I kidding. I'm buying a suede Dooney purse, and you're not!
Here are the links to the posts with the ads, in case you're curious: shoe ad, costume ad, home builder ad, gift basket ad and Native American culture ad.
I know, that last one is pretty random, right? It's like ice cream, pizza, corn, umbrella!
I am a bit scared that my flying monkeys will abandon me. After all, I quit reading Dooce after she went commercial. But in truth, I quit reading Dooce after she got married, had a baby and became boring. So I think I'm okay.
(Oh my God! She dissed Dooce! Can she do that? Won't Moveable Type shut her down?!)
So, yeah, I'm a sell-out. But if someone offered you money to sit around reading blogs, you couldn't get them your PayPal info fast enough, so shut up.
And if anyone would like to place an ad for purses, I got three more purse blogs coming up, so now would be an ideal time.
And then some boobies or something for the men. So... bra ads?
Love,
A Big, Money-Grubbing Whore

I love it! When I grow up, I want to be just like you. And if we who read and write blogs are honest with ourselves, we will admit that we want the exact same thing to happen to us - and that's okay! So, I say, "Congratulations and can I ride your coat tails to fame and fortune?!"
