For Shame, You People

Every so often, as do most webmasters, I check my Referring Stats page to view the kind traffic I get on this site.* Most of the viewers who found this blog via search engines should be commended for their relatively intelligent queries, such as searching for images associated with "nationalism" or "hasty generalization".

Occasionally , however, viewers discover this blog via Sedition.com -- a respectable blog in itself, but the disturbing part is that more often than not they've arrived via this page, which was designed as a search query trap by using the keywords "young nude girls". In other words, the viewers found *that* page while doing a search for "young nude girls". (Take a look at Sedition's page to read some very interesting "statistics".**)

A few dryly objective words I'd like to say on the subject and how it relates to certain themes of this blog. First, search engines are proving to be a neat little sociological tool into probing the behavior of our supposedly technologically advanced society. Never underestimate the power of the inner monkey, folks.***

Second, sexual attraction to pubescent (and younger) females is unfortunately more common than we'd like to think, and most likely rooted in our primal ancestry -- back in the day when hominids worried more about cave bears and marauding tribes than school and mortgage payments. **** With higher mortality rates and a lifespan of only 40-odd years or so, the species couldn't afford for its females to wait 25 years to become fertile. ...In fact, it was only fairly recently in human history that the teen years have been considered subadult (weren't Romeo and Juliet only 13?) Civilization was a bit less complex a few hundred years ago.

Moreover, among social/ tribal/ heirarchical primates, it is the male's quest to elevate his rank and acquire mates. ...Now, among many different species, it is the females who ultimately decide which males will mate with them. But males of certain primate species have learned to circumvent being left out of the mating game. Lower-ranking male Hamadryas baboons, for instance, may kidnap juvenile females in order to start their own harem. Kidnapping juvenile females fulfills both the male's desire to be higher-ranking, the desire for control and the desire for mates.

So anyhow, it must be one of those "unevolved" things, because personally, I can't fathom the thought of having an intimate relationship with someone who isn't on a similar emotional/intellectual level. Which leads to the alternate explanation that those with a sexual attraction to children are themselves emotionally at a more childlike level -- or need to have absolute control in relationships so prefer something easier to control. Or just plain old f--ed up.

Either way, if you found this page while actually doing a search for "young nude girls" (or "little lolitas", "young nymphets", "preteen nudists", etc.), you're probably more than likely rather low on the social totem pole; a reject; a control freak and in any case, a potential lawbreaker. And be thankful this site isn't using a site tracker that ID's your IP number, like I'm sure law enforcement officials have figured out using in order to really identify potential offenders.

What -- so you think those MySpace pages you stalk around through are all for real? Don't you losers have a clue as to what kind of surveillance technology they have these days?

(This post kind of relates to the previous post about birds. Stay tuned to find out how!)

*The Stats page provides no information about the viewers other than the address they found this blog through.

**Can you identify the logical flaw in the interpretation?

***I suppose I ought to toss out a few words and phrases myself just to see if it'll drive up traffic so I can put some ads n' stuff on here and make some pocket change: Wikipedia, American Idol, Project Runway, Sanjaya Malakar, XBox, Paris Hilton, Harry Potter, Orlando Bloom, Iraq, cephalopods, global warming, oil peak, polar bears, Britney Spears no underwear, flat screen TV, ring tones, file your taxes, bankruptcy, radioblog, bebo, penis, pierced, clitoris, nfl, wwf, nokia, xanax, hezbollah, Banksy, Borat, EU, refinancing, Iraq, North Korea, Pope Benedict, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, John McCain, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, little lolitas, foot fetish... ...if the results prove interesting I'll post them in the future.

****I'd like to see the IDers explain this one better than evolution can.

"Little Lolitas," you say…? Hmmmmmm. Sounds like a good way to boost my traffic by another 300 pointless visitors a day.

Hi. I found my way here via your recent comments at Pharyngula (good job, I must say). One minor nit to pick: Juliet was 13 and Romeo 17.
