Porn Porn Yes Porn I Said Porn
A quite interesting overview of the different attitudes newspapers take to climate change with this odd quote from the geezer behind the report:
“It is appropriate to call [what some of these groups publish] ‘climate porn’, because on some level it is like a disaster movie,” Mr Retallack told the BBC News website.
Erm hold on. Surely it would be appropriate to call it ‘climate porn’ if “on some level” it was like a porn movie. OK, I know what they’re getting at here but is the link between disaster movies and porn movies really so well established? Though for all I know Mr Retallack has in his hands a copy of Blizzard Bummers II.
I think a truer version of the quote might be:
“It is appropriate to call [what some of these groups publish] ‘climate porn’ because on some level that will get us a lot more headlines.”
See this very post for an example of this advanced marketing strategy at work.

350 googled referrals and rising
I’m a bit amazed in that I thought just putting “porn” in a thread title surely wouldn’t work as a hit generation method in 2006.
All the searchers, I hope that somewhere on the interweb you find what you seek.
