Sexy Google

CAPTION: "Hey baby, check out that SEXY sunset."

 

SELF GOOGLING, CHAPTER 3, THE FINAL CHAPTER, THE  CL (here I'll edit out the OBVIOUS AND EXPECTED cliche), the SEXY one. That would be the one that seldoms lives up to its tease. I'll let you be the judge.

BUT FIRST AN UPDATE: Remember I said I'd removed the last names of my FEMALE doctors to make sure they didn't get harrassed or unfairly associated with my bizarre posture on pain? Well on that level it's holding true. BUT...were you to GOOGLE PaulsModestMusings instead of Paul Reinertson?  I'm back to being an expert on pain.  I'll help you out here. 

The Posting is titled THE PAINFUL TRUTH. I put it up on March 27th of 2006. As I went back and read it? There is in fact some practical advice...especially for middle aged men.

Back to the overall Google issue. That search engine has some darn good spies.  We know about pain. And I see I am still listed as someone who knows something about traffic flow in California. They have info on the Emmys I participated in winning. There is coverage of my testimony in a controversial trial. There is my contribution to coverage of the Columbine Massacre, there are some resumes, some Metro State Faculty references, my sisters and I show up in some Norwegian's ancestry search. A couple of former students stuffed my name into their websites, and those pop up. It's all stuff I'm happy for other eyes to see.

BUT WHAT'S THIS?

"That's right, Paul.  Sex does sell."

Now this is the forewarned revelation mentioned earlier that may surface while self-googling. In a BLOG posting more than a year ago....I told a story of my assignment editor days...when the station was a "gnat's hair" behind in a race for second place in the ratings.

IT IS THE FINAL DAY OF THOSE RATINGS....

SO? The News Director ( a man whose acquaintance many of us share, including you Paulina) says, "have somebody go out and do a story on Playboy."  (I'll let you go back and find that posting in the archive if you like. It was June 15th, 2005)  But here is the GOOGLE upshot.

Searching PaulsModestMusings you'll see this statement in quotes.

"That's right Paul.Sex does sell."

What's really weird? It is attached to a service offered up by Univision. Univision, you may know, is a latino media conglomerate. For some reason, my little tale, now belongs to an exhausting list of BLOG entries about SEX linked to UNIVISION. I'm not going to label them porn outright, cause I didn't open of any of them. But let me give you a few titles.

You're on your own. But I wouldn't be messing with this tale if it ended here.  I don't know if that posting has been translated into Spanish? You'd think so if its being posted by Univision?

But here is what I do know. I just kept digging deeper, and I can't even begin to tell you how I got there.  But that POSTING on the ratings war, BECAUSE I USED THE PHRASE, "SEX SELLS"...has in fact been translated into CHINESE.

Hey, I've jumped way over "my 15 seconds of fame."

I know we all make resolutions this time of year we're not likely to keep. Nevertheless you need to know I'm making one that says, "No Self-Googling" in 2008.

Instead? I'm going to GOOGLE all of you.  If I come out THIS interesting, boy, what will I find out about YOU!  I'm getting excited.
