Sex Sells. In Case You Didn't Already Know.

We all know that sex sells. I mean, really, why else would we sprinkle in the cheerleader, dancer, and occasional man-meat photos in our posts? It’s titillating.

Well, I recently came across Mrs. Fantasy via an automated Technorati search for Fantasy Basketball, and honestly, I wish I’d thought of it first. I mean, I could totally pretend to be a Mrs. Fantasy Basketball, and throw up a highly suggestive header, and I’m guessing people would flock to my site. Well, I’m guessing it’d get more hits than this place, even if we had a daily cheerleader pic as part of the posting schedule. (Okay, maybe that’s not entirely true) Now, I don’t really mind the woman’s outline as a header, but it does make it more difficult to get away with reading it at work, or when my wife is around. And then Mrs. Fantasy is pulling out the titles like: “Kobe and Lebron go off!”, “Adios Wuevos [sic], Nene says goodbye to ‘Nads‘”, and “NBA RUMORS”.

Now, I’m not saying that Mrs. Fantasy isn’t really a Mrs. but there isn’t anywhere on the site you can see any sort of profile for The Mrs. (As opposed to this site where the 6th link down in the sidebar is my Fantasy Profile on Yahoo; which, on a side note, doesn’t contain my full fantasy career stats because I changed my Yahoo email address back in aught-five; and yes, I could make a new blog with a seductress of a Yahoo Avatar, but the point is that I have not… yet…)

Anyway, we’ll just have to see how long this temptress of fantasy basketball (and evidently other sports that just aren’t in season right now) can keep up her naughty little shenanigans. Especially when she (like another promising fantasy basketball blogger) realizes that you can’t really put ads on a WordPress.com blog (followed by the realization that this blogging shit is actually kind of hard, despite the multitude of bloggers out there who manage to make it look easy).

And speaking of sex selling, the Fantasy Sports Complaint Box is shilling it out over there for pennies on the dollar. Slow day? Didn’t seem like it to me with LeBron going for 51, but I guess anything seems like a slow day when Rachel Bilson selling Coke in GQ is your most important news, right?

I think she’s hawking the underwear in that one, since the Coke isn’t there anymore.
