Dear UDers, I write this in the hope that it is spotted by one of you surfacing to take on a little reality before deep diving back into the depths of Tard. Whilst this may seem critical, please take it in a positive way; I only want to keep the quality of your unintentional hilarity high.
1. Understand your market
UD is a bit like the O'Reilly factor in that you're not really connected with reality in any meaningful way and most of your viewers tune in to laugh at you. Embrace you veiwership and cater to their needs. I've noticed no "best month evaaaaaaaar!" posts for UD recently, you're going to have to lower your game / raise your tard to push on from here. I therefore offer these helpful hints:
2. More of this, please
<> SLoT type stuff. I love Fundy SLoT: "all particles must runaway from each other and shit". Tell me more! Invent new laws and name them after yourselves (Sal!) <> Dave's Diets. Yes I know this was from FTK's now defunct blog, but it was the human interest story UD needs. Fatty boom-boom Springer can opine about how he's lost 45 pounds this week eating rice and berries and is no longer a bloater, whilst cleverly working in "fuzzy logic rice cookers". It's got emotional hooks, 'n shit. <> ANTI ACLU posts. These have always been good. The big guns come out and get very, very upset about things they don't understand. Let's face it; if the ACLU do it, you don't like it. <> Bible passages. Nothing supports creation science teaching to kids like the bible. <> Telling us about waterloo. How long? How will NDE crumble? What will the world be like? Will there still be atheists?
3. Less of this, please
<> Dembski hiding. When experts from the world of stats come and want to talk CSI, he's nowhere to be found. If someone posts about a beaver that looks like Darwin, or other minutia, he's got comments two and three posted in about one minute. <> General Science Denying. Deadly DCA was good, global warming was bad. You're too hit and miss, guys. Go with what you (don't) know. <> Denyse. Yes Yes she's got books to sell, doesn't write so well and believes in hell. The humour is only generated because she outranks Davetard. But her writing is so clunky as to be offensive. <> Using Google to search for the word "design" in biology articles.
Thanks fellas, and keep up the bad work!
