Rightfully So

Blogosphere maven “Gozar” of the famed RightfullySo.com website has managed to keep his New Year’s resolution going for five straight days now.

Initially proposed as a gag during a New Year’s Eve bender, Gozar found himself on the hot seat on January 1, 2007, when, with a splitting headache and vomit-encrusted cheeks and lips, his wife reminded him of his drunken proposal.

“Gozar, honey… do you remember your resolution?” she asked.

“Uhmmmm. Wh…”

“You promised to lose weight, sire another child with me, and post interesting bookmarklets to your web site.”

“Ohhhhhhhhh. That. Look, dear, all I meant was HOLY CRAP DOES MY HEAD HURT.”

“Yes, honey?” she replied, with saccharine condescension, to which Gozar responded by falling asleep on the couch.

Gozar’s previous New-Years-resolution-breaking record was set in 1985, when he resolved to drink only sugar-free pop. That resolution lasted until January 13, when, after four scoops of Rocky Road ice cream and six pieces of cake, he said “the hell with that shit” and his birthday celebration turned into a Pepsi-fueled festival.

Stay tuned to this web site for details on Gozar’s 2007 progress.

Accoring to the latest Neilsen ratings, publishing on one of the internet’s top 651,029 websites has dropped off significantly for Q1 2006.

The site in question is none other than the hugely-popular Rightfully So, famous for its incisive commentary about popular culture and techno-politics. Since its inception last year, the site has seen an 1800% increase in traffic and a whopping 2450% increase in revenues, attributable mostly to the liberal use of internet advertising.

Like so many other darlings of the post-industrial era, it seems that the reach of Rightfully So has exceeded its grasp. What started with a ferverous passion for internet punditry and technological zealotry, has since languished, only morph into a cob-web style of internet property, all while its visionary principals grow fat off of the life-style that their new-found wealth allows.

But, don’t shed any tears for this loss; like a phoenix rising from its ashes, so too will another aspiring group of internet pioneers rise to the challenge of building the next eBay, the next Amazon, or the next Rightfully So.
