Advertising Acceptance

As much as we evoke the effortless spontaneity of children at play, the actual production of this site is both expensive and time-consuming. My travel budget alone would break the back of Jeff Gannon's wealthiest john. We also lack prominent financial backers, unlike so many other blogs that rely on the helping hands of media conglomerates, wealthy political allies and parents who still speak to them. All we have is you - and that's not enough.

That's why Lomblog has reluctantly agreed to accept regular advertising:



Don't worry: these ads will be as inconspicuous as possible, appearing only at the top and/or bottom of every post. They will not affect the content of the blog, only the way it appears on your screen. Nor will there be any toning-down of our anti-establishment edge. If you know anything about me, you're aware I can't resist biting the hand that feeds me, especially if that hand contains a tasty morsel of wholesome goodness manufactured by Nabisco®.

So the sponsorship will cause no conflict; my work will continue to be published unexpurgated and unverified. And without the pressure of trying to round up cash every week, I'll be able to focus on all the big stories of the coming months: the close of the Cannes Film Festival, the Michael Jackson trial, the Tom DeLay controversy, and last but not least, the opening of the final Star Wars film.

Granted, I'm not a big fan of the series as a whole, but this is a major event. Call me a nerd if you must, but I'll be in line first thing Thursday morning with a creamy BLT and a heart beating extra fast from anticipation. Maybe some of you will join me.
