On Saturday morning, someone left a comment in our Hot Girl Friday write-up of Olivia Jordan claiming The Oklahoma Gazette was "coming after" us, and not in a sexual way. That's great. First the Tecumseh Times hates us and now The Gazette has beef. This is really going to hurt our brand and reputation with people in their 50s who don't have the Internet.
Here's what the commenter wrote: [sic]
I just read through the Gazette this morning (I was in the dr’s waiting room, that’s my excuse) and was just reading about this. So, they come after you because instead of stuff like this and the state fair photos, while they post boring stuff that doesn’t do much but restate what already put you to sleep, and then little ads in back that you don’t want to bother looking at.
I honestly had no clue what the commenter was talking about. At first I thought maybe The Gazette also had an article about Olivia Jordan. Considering she's attractive and still at least a year or two from becoming mainstream, I knew that couldn't be the case. So I hopped over to OKGazette.com to see what was up, and get this, the site actually loaded within 10 seconds! How about that?! I think that's a new record for them. They must have upgraded to the Blue Host Premier Hosting package over the weekend. They're now going to be able to handle hundreds of hits each day. Sweet!
Anyway, I did some digging, and sure enough, The Gazette wrote a defensive blurb about us in Wednesday's Chicken Fried News. I'm not sure what's sadder. Is it that The Gazette is stooping to our childish level, or is it that we didn't hear about this until Saturday morning? I guess word still doesn't flow very fast in the unconnected world.
