I found some disturbing information while viewing the webstats for my site yesterday. Here are the top 6 searches that led visitors to my site.
1, 2, and 3 are all good and well, but the last 3 searches definitely shouldn’t be key words for my site. I hope the last two searches were done ironically for a joke. I might have to reconsider what I write in my posts and where I link to.

AJ showed me an awesome music video the other day and asked how they did it, so i tossed together a particle system and grabbed a song from my itunes to test it out. not nearly as cool, but somewhat close. i need particular 2.0 i think.
What do you do when you have a huge multi-million dollar R-rated action comedy packed with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars that is opening in mid August a week after another R-rated comedy of high (pun intended) anticipation? Market the shit out of it via the internet and within media staples of pop culture.
After the appearances of Tropic Thunder’s three leading men (Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr, and Jack Black) on American Idol and the MTV Movie Awards, one could make the argument that Dreamworks covered their viral bases for this movie by hitting a few key demographics within some very large tv audiences. But that wasn’t enough.
Rain Of Madness – a Mockumentary on the making of the fake movie of which Tropic Thunder, the real movie, shares its name. Still with me?
Tugg Speedman – Ben Stiller’s character’s name in Tropic Thunder
Simple Jack – a movie referenced within Tropic Thunder starring Tugg Speedman
Scorcher VI – a movie referenced within Tropic Thunder starring Tugg Speedman
Panda Relocation Foundation – Tugg Speedman’s favorite charity
The Peck Agency – Tugg Speedman’s talent agency
Kirk Lazarus – Robert Downey Jr.’s character’s name in Tropic Thunder
Satan’s Alley – a movie referenced within Tropic Thunder starring Kirk Lazarus
Make Pretty Skin Clinic – the clinic where Kirk Lazarus underwent skin pigment surgery (aka black face)
Jeff Portnoy – Jack Black’s character’s name in Tropic Thunder
Fatties: Fart 2 – a movie referenced within Tropic Thunder
Cody Keith Underwood – Danny McBride’s Character’s name in Tropic Thunder
Booty Sweat – the official energy drink of Brandon T. Jackson’s character, Alpa Chino. It has been mentioned on several blogs that the actual drink is for sale if one were interested in buying it. I believe you can get them at Hot Topics. There is a reference to it on Tropic Thunder’s official site but it lists it as coming soon.
UPDATE:
Simple Jack Site down
Tags: Tropic Thunder, Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr.
Do you have your own website? Of course you know about goodbyemailbox.com because you are on it right now. But did you know that I also own derekdoi.com? It’s true. It just redirects you to goodbyemailbox.com but I own it and plan on owning it until I can no longer use a computer. Sorry to any other Derek Doi’s out there but the early bird gets the domain.
It would be a crying shame if you were someone like my good friend Cody Collier and some other dude by the same name, who by chance happens to be a gay wrestler, decided to get a website before you. Luckily for the both of them, some other dude named Cody Collier in Colorado put up a fairly safe, yet boring site at that domain. Another friend of mine, Mr. Robin Brown, is too late to buy his name domain which is operated by some real estate lady.
So if you are interested in buying a domain and hosting a website on that domain, there is a really good deal going on at my web hosting provider for the month of January (when did I become a hot deals site?). For $70 you get a domain name, 40GB of online server space, 800GB of monthly bandwidth, unlimited email accounts, a bunch of easy install web apps like the wordpress app that I use to blog with, and many other cool things for one year. You can also pay for two years at the price of $140. I pay $100 for one year so this is definitely a hot deal.
Don’t let some gay wrestler or delusive real estate agent ruin your good name and reputation. Buy your domain today!
