The Dangers of Advertising

I don't accept advertising on this blog or any of my media blogs, but I do accept it at Just One Bad Century.

Well, here's the thing about that. While it's nice to get a few dollars from Cubs-related businesses, I realized the downside this morning. I'm an absolute sucker for cool Cubs stuff. I just got a new client called Holy Cow Canvas, and I spent the morning on the site looking at their artwork.

I guarantee you I will spend more money buying stuff there than I will bring in via advertising.

On the other hand, kids, Father's Day is just around the corner. Imagine how cool Dad's little basement office would look with this incredibly cool piece of art on the walls...kids? Bridget? Oh yeah, that's right. They never read my stuff.
