"Disgusting, yet whimsical"

The above title comes from a Christopher Titus standup comedy album, and it's the only phrase I can use to describe a discovery I made concerning the very page you're reading.

I subscribe to a free service called Google Analytics. Google Analytics allows me to track the number of people who visit my blog every day, as well as other stats. One kind of data I can track is the sources of my hits. So if someone uses a search engine like Google or Yahoo to find me, I know what words he or she used. This is very useful for me, as it allows me to see what the most popular topics and keywords are.

There's only one reaction you can have when you discover something like this (CLICK ON THE PHOTO):

Why? WHY?!?! Why does anybody want to see two of the biggest icons of childhood joy and innocence engaged in lascivious acts?! WHY?! The fact that someone wants to see Mario and Peach naked means that there are people who want to see OTHER childhood icons naked! Thoughts come to mind of seedy strip clubs on Sesame Street and Minnie Mouse turning tricks out by the docks. And I don't even want to think about these peoples' twisted fantasies involving the Ninja Turtles. I feel like my mind is being corrupted already. The evil web-perversion has desecrated my computer. I think I'll burn it now.
