Bete De Jour, the self-described ugly blogger, will review your product or service for you. NB: NSFW if your work dislikes bile or bad sex advice.

Is his reviews a new thing?

I'd read this site before, but the writing gets tiresome. I thought, Heh, this is funny, but then after watching him beat on easy targets I realized I didn't really need him to hate the same crap.

His stuff had me yawning avidly too.

Maybe I am not sophisticated enough for this blog, because with each attempt to read what's supposed to be funny, I end up skimming through the paragraphs to get to the point.

Not very funny, IMHO. It earns a virtual 'shrug' and 'meh' from me.

In the introduction to his book, Seymore Butts - real name Adam Glasser - lays himself bare in a brief biography of his sexual exploits and career highlights: porn star-cum-porn director-cum-reality TV (porn) star, all the while with the accent (maybe a bumlaut) on 'assplay'.

As far as I'm concerned, if this blogger's only achievement is coining the word 'bumlaut', then he has enjoyed a rich and worthwhile career.

Does anyone else miss Old Man Murray?

I learned that by adding "/rss.xml" to a blogspot.com url, you can add an RSS feed to your newsreader. Welcome to the 20th century!

But...but...Trevor McDonald won't let me add anything to him since the restraining order was served!

I don't want an ugly man to review my products.

‘This is a courtesy reminder that you have an appointment with Dr Feelgood at ten P.M. tonight.’

I hope to implement this.

Huh. I wasn't really planning on buying any book written by someone named after a Simpson's joke anyway, but his review has sure convinced me not to buy that one. I guess.

The online bingo review is great, and the blog itself is better. Thanks. I hadn't seen it before.

That joke is older than the Simpson's. It actually what Jesus got pissed at Judas about.

It's grammatically incorrect french.

Should be Bête du jour.

It's a take on the movie. Belle de Jour. (It seems gramatically wrong to me too, but I'm not gonna question Bunuel.)
