Bloggers are ugly

Filed under: Weblogs | 20 Comments

You ever notice that bloggers are ugly? Check out some highlights of the BloggerCon photos… Eek.

That not enough to scare you? There are more. I’ve seen more black people in Montana (.3% of the population)…

Update: Just to clear things up, my point is that attendees of BloggerCon are ugly/white. Yes, there are hot/colored bloggers. That’s not my point.

    Oh my! I hope none of those pictures are you. 🙂

    Bloggers, ugly? Bit of an over-generalization, isn’t it?

  3. Jon Gales says:

    No it was a completly true all-inclusive statement. Anyone who blogs at all is ugly.

    Seriously though. Yes, I know there are some hot bloggers. That’s not my point. I’m talking about the crowd at BloggerCon, which is mostly made up of hard core types (who else would pay for other bloggers to talk).

  4. Brian says:

    Ahhhh, you didn’t specify BloggerCon. Yeah, anyone who takes it seriously enough to make the effort to go to BloggerCon is, by definition, unattractive.

    Yep.

    Perhaps there’s a social theory in here somewhere? “I blog because I can’t get laid?” Might have to do with the politics of social attraction and that blogging allows them to have a gorgeous visage to go with their opinions, unlike their personal life?

    They’re not ugly. It’s just that you’re too hot among the bloggers!

    I’m surprised – there are a ton of Black bloggers out there…guess our invites were lost in the mail.

    Actually I think the “some” guy is kinda cute.

    But wow, check out the “check” guy again. Is that Dave Mustaine from Megadeth?

    On day one of BloggerCon, I was the only black person there. Day two had about three or four.

    I’m no Brad Pitt, but I don’t know if I would say I’m “ugly”.

    Well thank God they’ve finally exploded the myth of Web people being cutting edge, sleek, young, sexy and well-versed in the apreciation of single-malt Scotch. My word, it’s A/V Club all over.

    In general, yes bloggers and other web types are ugly. No dates in high school, plenty of time to learn PERL!

    Ever seen the pictures of metafilter gatherings? Scary indeed, with normally a single female in the crowd (at least someone who ‘looks’ female).

    Now we have bloggers (Oliver, Anil Dash etc) saying bloggers are not ugly. But no one ever thinks they’re boring, and no one ever thinks ‘I’m ugly’. Doesn’t mean you’re not.

    And before anyone gets upset. I’m count myself as ugly TOO! (I just happen to have a hot wife 😉

    Well some of those people would look fine in proper lighting. Maybe we should be saying that bloggers make bad photographers. Which doesn’t say much for the explosion of “fotoblogs” now, does it?

    Just be glad you will never have to be the only women in a conference full of white guys just itching to tell you all about their life story 🙂

  14. To Be Old, White, and At BloggerCon

    Just as I was thinking that the people at BloggerCon seemed almost exclusively old and white, Jon points out that they’re ugly, too. Harsh but true. And are those assessments just jealous, bitter lashings-out from two young-ish bloggers who float…

    Pirjo soovis, et tutvustaksin teile tema suurt iidolit ning ühtlasi eakate klubi “Ripprind” maskottmemme. Ja Vahur saadab ühe mõnusa loo, millele ka kriipsujukuklipp tehtud. Koer on armas. Kuniks teda veel on. Ahjaa, et bloggers are ugly 🙂 Ja siis on …

    Neighborhoods

    Last night a massive late fall storm hit our area, causing flooding and even generating funnel clouds not far from where we live. Today the trees are stripped bare for the most part, leaves literring the ground like summer’s last soldiers felled honora…
