Starving bloggers can be paid to post things on their blogs (for starvation wages). Anyone with the semblance of a brain will realize that the blogger is posting for pay (at a pittance) and will ignore the content. Paid editorial is what we call “advertorial” and it has always been waste of paper in print and brainpower in bits. (Which makes the first even more wasteful.)
Be assured that groovyman.com will not take pay for a post unless we can first try the product. Furthermore, if we do not develop a very dark tan after the first few applications and or need to fight off numerous admirers with our man purses, we will send the product back. Finally, we will continue to excoriate the crap that people actually pay others to post about.*
(*Unlike the beautiful and inspired piece of sculpture from the Akron Public Library System that we have used to adorn this post. We understand it may be for sale. We’d post more about it, but no one will pay us.)
