I'm A Sellout (Sort Of)

Comedy.com has been kind enough to become a supporter of LOTD. While that means a few more ads, yes, it also means a few bucks for my time and effort, and links to a lot more great content on their numerous blogs.

But that is all that will change (at least until we redesign); LOTD will continue to be rude, juvenile, un-PC (within reason) and reader-driven, because I'm not going anywhere -- sorry. I know you were excited there for a sec.

Thanks for your understanding.

Your pal,
Cary

Wow, that's exciting! Congrats, Cary!

Cary said...

Thank you. I don't like change but sometimes it is necessary.

Daisy said...

Way cool! Congratulations, Cary! Woot woot! You've hit the big time now. :D

Josh said...

I second (third?) the congratulations Cary!

On behalf of Comedy.com and as a reader who has silently been loving your content for years, I just want to say we're thrilled to have you as part of the team.

Also, I want to say hi to all of the loyal LOTD readers - I promise we won't do anything to get in the way of Cary's great content.

Daisy said...

Hi Josh! :)

Josh said...

Hi Daisy!

Wow, this comment thing is fun. I should try it more often.

Bev said...

Pimp it, buddy! As long as LOTD carries on, IDGAF what kind of ads you put on here!

Congrats on the new sponsor!

Felipe said...

Hey, you gotta get while the gettin's good. Way to shake down the Man!

Mindy said...

No need to apologize. You deserve to be rewarded for your hard work.

bubbasmom said...

Awww, and we knew you when:^) Way to go, Paula...I mean, Cary!!!

Frank Irwin said...

You're right, Josh! The Comments thing is half the fun here!

So, uh, what's our cut?

;-)

Ashley. Unscripted... said...

You're not a sell-out! Just remember the little people when you get all Richey Rich on us. LOL

Congrats!

Samsmama said...

Hi Josh!

Well that explains the colonic thing. Which is now mysteriously gone, making me look like I've had much more to drink than I actually have.

Frank Irwin said...

I will now refer to you as Cash'n Cary.

Cary said...

Frank - I like it.

Thanks, y'all.

kushibo said...

You're not a sellout. Kudos on getting some sponsorship. I was getting money through AdSense, probably a total of a couple hundred dollars.

When you factor in the hours worked, that works out to an hourly salary that gives me solidarity with Central American coffee pickers. So there's that.

Anyway, keep it real. Do things the way you always have.

smauge said...

I trust ya!

Stuart said...

Thank God™ things won't change. For a second I was worried that the comments would start being moderated and the only ones to make it through would be the stupid shitty ones saying things like "fisrt!!lol!!1!" or some lame-ass compound bow reference.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock said...

Oooh-la-la! How exciting! When's my solo?

Cary said...

Comments are moderated, Stu, just not in the way you mean.

Minnesotalady said...

congratulations! Best wishes! Woot woot~ Keep the juvenile coming!!

Stuart said...

And ya still let mine through. Whatta guy! C'mere, you big lug ... [noogie]

Ed said...

Congrats

Mala said...

And I will now refer to you as Fire Crotch..... just 'cause.



Congrats.

totalblammblamm said...

I'm so proud of you, Cary. I'm singing 'Sunrise, Sunset' over here in your honor!

How fast they grow up.

Laura said...

As long as they bought you dinner afterwards...and you promise never to change! **high five**

Hope you had a great Canada Day! ;oD

revolutionaire. said...

Hi Josh! :)

Congrats, Cary. I'm stoked to hear about the sponsorship.

We should also say congrats to Josh (and comedy.com) for nabbing you. You're hot shit, not gonna lie.

Leisa said...

I think it's great news, Cary.

All the time and effort you put into this blog pays off.

Congrats.

onebadmamajama said...

What?! Are you fuggin' kiddin' me? Cary, how could you!?!


J/K LMAO Congrats, Cary! That's pretty awesome!

Cary said...

Thanks, everyone. You're all very kind.

tracey said...

Josh, hello & welcome to the dark side. Cary, kudos to you for getting picked up. It's about time.

T-Ro said...

you are Capeetaleest peeg!

Toni Brayer MD said...

Congrats, you cyber-whore.

Kari said...

Howdy Josh!

Does this mean I can't cuss like a mother loving sailor anymore?

voronya said...

just as long as you stay juvenile and low-brow and occasionally nsfw, all will be good.

congrats, dude. here's to hoping you will be around for a long time!

Cary said...

Thanks everyone. No worries.. we will continue to be foul-mouthed here. Or I will, anyway. You fuckers can do what you like.

Karen said...

Yay! Looking forward to it!

T-Ro said...

OK. so how do I get this fuckin' Viagra banner off my screen?

It won't even minimize.

kushibo said...

It won't even minimize.

If it lasts more than four hours, seek medical attention.

Frank Irwin said...

T-Ro, if it still won't minimize after four hours, you should probably consult a doctor.


D'oh! Kushibo beat me to it!

MtnMama said...

What Bev said.

And Josh? Yeah, sometimes the comments rival Cary's posts. We're all a bunch of attention whores, in an entertaining kind of way. Including the ones that make you say "who let that guy in?"

T-Ro said...

it's gonna be a loooong afternoon.

T-Ro said...

it's down now. I just watched the Melissa Manchester video.

Melissa said...

Congratulations Cary!

I have faith that you will continue to be the crude motherfucker you've always been.

Josh said...

Thx for the warm welcome, guys.

Since I know a lot of you have your own great blogs and probably find funny stuff all over the web I want to invite you to send me any funny stuff you find (my email is josh @ comedy.com - we'll be happy to link to and credit you.

Which reminds me...if you check out Comedy.com right now, what you see isn't really what we are (shhh...don't tell). We're re-launching in a few weeks and it's going to be a MUCH better site.

We've quietly launched a network of 14 blogs, each a guide to the funniest stuff in politics, sports, entertainment, sex (you're welcome), etc. and the new site will reflect that a LOT better.

We want to be a guide to what's funny online - which is why we're recommending LOTD because clearly Cary knows what's funny.

For the moment, you can check out friendfeed.com/comedydotcom to see links to all our blogs and get a sense of what we're up to.

Ok, that's more than enough rambling from me for now.
