How Many Other Ways Can We Make Fun Of Bloggers?
Filed Under (Found, Opinion) by Kate O' on 08-21-2007

Over at the Sitening blog, Jon Henshaw has posted a list of blogger types — meant to be humorous — so I suppose in their own words that makes them a

List Blogger

Ever since you got Dugg for that top ten list for the Greatest Barbie Outfits for Full Grown Men, you’ve been dishing out top ten lists everyday on Digg trying to relive your glory. Unfortunately, everybody hates you now and nobody will Digg your stories, not even your mother.

It’s an OK list, and sure, I recognize some familiar old chestnuts in there, but there are some that are kind of bewildering to me. Like this one:

Health Blogger

You’re in great shape and you have to tell everyone about how beautiful and in shape you are. You don’t actually have a job. Instead you just work out all day and admire your muscles and low body fat. Oh, and your advice to everyone is completely useless for those of us who live in the real world.

Really? I don’t think I’ve ever run across a single example of this. Anyone else?

What other examples seem particularly on-the-nose or out-of-their-minds to you?

“… Instead you just work out all day and admire your muscles and low body fat …”

How I wish this were me. Dear lord, how I wish this were me. Sadly, no.

There are infinite ways to make fun of bloggers.

I guess I”m the “I Just Wiped My Butt Blogger.” Even though I don’t twitter. :-)

But actually, I’m more of the “I just Had Relations” blogger.

#9, that Flame Warrior site is well done. It accurately reflects the dynamics of the huge listservs and newsgroups I used to take part in before blogging took over where those formats left off.

I had forgotten about the Flame Warriors. Thanks, #9! Funny and accurate stuff.

I left a comment at that site with a glaring omission from his list: Dickhead Attention Whore Blogger. Examples: Jon Henshaw and Stacey Campfield.

Hey Jon: I’m guessing that flight attendant is still infinitely more amusing than you’d ever be.
