Help! One post about nekid women, and everybody flocks to it.
The post about the naked Nazi chicks is so much more popular than we imagined. Not very flattering with regard to our imagination, I guess.
On the other hand, haven't European tabloids been so popular exactly because they showed some skin? The thinly veiled upset "why would they take off their clothes" of the tabloid Bild Zeitung in the 1970s and 80s is a blast to revisit.
We saw this predecessor of modern click bait in period newspapers people must have stashed in attics for sale in times of need. We first saw big, well lit stalls of 1970s to 1990s tabloids and skin mags at a Christmas market. Next to a candy stand. You can also go to eBay for an unfiltered look at the customs of the pre-World Wide Web days.
The answer to the question in the title is, of course, no. Our readers are open minded, bright people who care about humanity despite the daily display of our common shortcomings.
Our readers even care about the Pinky Heads of Deutsche Telekom.*
So, the world is as it has been since times immemorial: sex, religion, and Deutsche Telekom always sell.
One more thing:
We merely mention Deutsche Telekom here because we really pity them, the only thing the Pinky Heads get up is their signal masts, and even that usually takes too long. No wonder they have been branching out into the business of insemination of dairy cows. The blogster can't help but wonder if the obits of the Pinky Head executives will read "loving husband, devoted father, caring grandfather, dedicated taker of free public goods, revolutionizer of cattle insemination".
* The company says the color is magenta, and they copyrighted it when used with the company name. So, we decided to call it pink.
