I realize that the idea of screwing around with google page ranking is old hat, nonetheless I was charmed to discover that people have been arriving at this site by querying google with the phrase fuck me, which directs them (indirectly) to a mild rebuke to the New York Times, dated 14 May.
This may be a bit perverse, but the idea of someone sitting down before his or her favourite search engine and letting the words fuck me fall out of their fingers, and that brings them here, strikes me both as sad and very, very funny.
As of this writing, the fuck me ranking of that post (which, it should be said, was intended to hurt the feelings of those bingo-callers who would cast something as miraculously complex and wonderfully realized as Morris Fuller Benton’s ATF Garamond typeface in the same light as, say, a shoe, or a whimsy for Buddhism) is 11, which seems to me a tad low. And this is where you come in.
If you publish a web page, and you happen upon opportunity in your this-and-that to pop the phrase fuck me on it, a link to textism.com/article/183 would be most appreciated. The goal being that its ranking will rise to number one, and soon I may be able to say Hey, Mom, look what happens when you type fuck me into google!
