The South Korean Government is handing out gifts for office workers who promise not to visit brothels this holiday season.

The Ministry of Gender Equality is offering to pay companies whose employees pledge not to buy sex after what are typically alcohol-soaked, year-end parties.

"If you promise yourself to make it a healthy night out at the end of the year and if you recommend this to others, we are giving lots of prizes," the ministry said in an Internet posting.

Who Needs A Clue. Perez Hilton or Advertisers?

Good Money Going Down The Drain?

OK, I admit...I knew NOTHING about Perez Hilton until I heard this blogger was being SUED by someone for something...OH, I remember...stealing copious amounts of material from someone else who paid someone else to pester various assorted A list people to death hoping for some scandal big enough to grace the front pages of some GOSSIP RAG. You know the routine, Paris Hilton and Brittany running around Hollywood with no panties will be just fine.

I never gave the issue much thought, choosing instead to turn into the Daily Show, and The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, and maintaining my various assorted politically oriented blogs...until this morning when I was checking on my blog statistics over on Ad Brite...IMAGINE MY SURPRISE when I found out that those who advertise on Washington Scandal have also advertised on Perez Hilton's blog! As we all do, I decided to do some COMPARISONS between Washington Scandal that has a lot of original political commentary, and Perez Hilton's blog.

Daily Traffic

Perez Hilton (some probably phooney, or from friends) 230
Washington Scandal 270

Daily Traffic Winner....WASHINGTON SCANDAL

Unique Visitors (This one is telling...someone is maybe running a scam?)

Perez Hilton 20
Washington Scandal 160

Hmmmm.....any one notice some oddity going on? Perez Hilton has only 20 Unique Visitors on this particular daily shot of statistics, but 230 site visits which translates to 11 page views per visitor! Would not take very many PALS to create and illusion now would it? What if those same visitors are also doing some extra clicking...not saying it is so, but musing outloud here.

Bottom line, Washington Scandal wins the Unique Visitors competition hands down.

Now, things get FUZZY from here on out, which is why maybe advertisers need to take a closer look at Perez Hilton's site.

With only 20 unique visitors a day, this blog has an incredible Alexa rank of 1,133!
Meanwhile, Washington Scandal with 160 unique visitors has an Alexa Rank of only 5,929,231. HELLO, someone needs a V-8! Let's now look at one more thing.

Perez Hilton is commanding $700.00 a week for 20 visitors a DAY! Now advertisers, if you do some basic math, you are paying this person who is being SUED $5.00 a visitor to his blog...unless you are selling doggy bags to Paris Hilton and her friends on a regular basis, that's a very pricy per visitor amount to be shelling out.

Now, the weekly rate for Washington Scandal on the other hand is currently $35.00 with a monthly rate of $150. Now, 160 UNIGUE VISITORS a day for seven days is 1120 UNIGUE VISITORS a week. In short, cost per visitor to advertise on Washington Scandal is around 3.1 CENTS.

The numbers tell the TALE! Think about it advertisers...do you really want to be giving Perez Hilton $5.00 a visitor? Or is this just one of those games the A list folks play? Is it actually Paris and her friends funding this farce of a blog? We will never know, but serious business people should know a joke when they see one.

Paris Hilton Quits Billboard Awards...uhhh...Who Cares?

If I were to create a list of the top ten women with whom I'd love to share dinner with, a list of fantasy dates, Paris Hilton would not make the list...in fact, if I were to make the list larger, say 1,000 women, she would still fall short of making the cut. She's brash, she's trash, and her antics are...well, distasteful and rude. Here is a young woman that has been given anything and everything a person could hope for in life...fame, fortune, a modicum of good looks, and from this writer's perspective she is doing NOTHING remarkable with these gifts she has received.

So, it it with some humor I read today that she's BACKING out of her appearance at the Billboard Awards because she finds some of the jokes portray some of her friends in a BAD LIGHT...WELL EXCUSE ME, maybe then Paris needs to GET A CLUE. I do not keep tabs on her, but I could recount one sad news story after another about her and her friends. Seem to recall the story about her STUFF found in an abandoned storage facility and her suing to get it back, there was the story about her and her friends hitting a car and driving off after a night of party at some club, or her latest antics with Brittany, the two of them showing up at clubs without their panties on. With these kinds of news stories, how can Paris be upset at a few jokes that might portray her friends in a negative light...does the truth hurt? I only hope that one day she wakes up, realizes what she's been gifted with, starts doing some good in this world, instead of thinking everything in the world revolves around her.

LOS ANGELES -- Paris Hilton won't joke about her peeps. The hotel heiress canceled an appearance at next week's Billboard Music Awards because she didn't like the jokes written for her, according to a spokesman.

"It is my understanding that some satirical references ridiculed some of her peers," her spokesman, Elliot Mintz, said in a statement. "Paris did not want to say anything that could appear hurtful or embarrassing about people she knows."
