Recently it’s come to my attention that there are readers out there that believe I, William K. Wolfrum, the undisputed sexiest male blogger in the entire Golf Publisher Syndications network, is a keyword whore who will stick any subject together with golf in order to garner more hits.
“I’m disappointed that you stooped to make this association, WKW … But I have to ask: Does a line exist that you won’t cross for a couple more hits and comments? (I wince at the possibility that my own comment is probably only egging on more.),” wrote Kristen “Golfchick” Williams, in regard to my blockbuster blog, “If O.J. Simpson can get iffy, so can a golf blogger.”
“I saw that someone is linking Golf with Iran. Now what do you call that? Golf and Terrorism?” wrote Baby Blue Eyes.
“This blog seems beneath you K. Like you almost just threw two big names together to try to get some hits, while catering to a crazed demographic (Wie Warriors),” wrote Chris Baldwin in response to “Natalie Gulbis vs. Michelle Wie: Selling your body obviously better than selling out your game.”
Now, it’s easy enough to blow off Baldwin. After all, the guy’s spent the last two weeks desperately trying to convince people that David Duval and Mike Tyson are mirror images, and is the same guy that has shown that even when he’s completely, utterly wrong about something - like the lack of daylight-savings time in Arizona - he’s willing to argue his wrongness with an intensity only shared by people like Bill O’Reilly.
But when people like Golfchick hammer at you, well, it makes you think. It makes you think long and hard. Because Lord knows she’d never pander. Nor would her co-blog-author, the adorable Goose.
After thinking about whether I’ve crossed the line, I realized that I haven’t. Nope, not me. That’s because I have editorial integrity and there are some lines I would never cross. You could not even begin to imagine some of the insane ideas I’ve had in the past, that I’ve shot down because they went too far, insulted too many people, and were morally reprehensible.
In fact, here are a few of those ideas.
Seriously, the list goes on and on. So just remember that when you think I’ve gone too far chasing hits. Things could be worse. They could be much, much worse.
