Our Blog is Rated “R”?

According to a free dating website our blog is rated “R.” The reason?

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:

shoot (10x)

steal (1x)

Clearly, it is our goal to corrupt the youth of America (and beyond), but I find the parameters of this rating system a little insane. I mean, this is like arresting Jeffrey Dahmer for jaywalking. If I were to give us an R rating, it would probably be for these words:

damn (10x)

hell (3x)

ass (1x)

sex (2x)

fuck (4x)

That’s not even counting the content of the films, which includes a few F-bombs, making out, and lest we not forget, talk of sex with a pregnant lady. Now that is the kind of stuff that won’t play well in the Bible Belt. See also: this Friday’s Hero By Proxy. Oh baby.

I suppose it’s crazy of me to get upset at an internet rating meter. For a couple of reasons:

It is an inanimate object (Well, worse: it’s not even an object – it’s just code. It’s like getting mad at the Matrix.)
This point probably can’t be reiterated enough: it was created by a free dating website.

So this foolish game is all simply a means of redirecting people to a free dating website, and in that regard, we are playing right into their hands. I don’t see why “mingle squared” even needs a gimmick. I mean, flesh sells itself, “mingle squared.” Get with the program!

Looking for some strange?

P.S.: Keith just raised a good point: How exactly did I stumble across a free dating website with a blog rater? I am searching through my history and though there are items in there that I would not show to my mother or lawyers, I can’t seem to find Ground Zero. I guess we’ll have to chalk this one up to the magic of Google…guess I was feeling lucky.
