VOTE!

[seanolan]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I humbly beg of you to vote for this podcast on PodCast Alley (the link is on this site's homepage). We were #3 in Educational podcasts and #68 in all podcasts last month. I want us to do even better this month. I want to see Mondo Movie get thumbs down. I want to see ChristianPod get martyred. I want to see PodPorn go down (so to speak). C'mon people, vote and make this site #1!

...brought to you by the "Sean Nolan for Official JapanesePod101 Booster Club President" committee. Remember, your vote counts.

I want to see ChristianPod get martyred. I want to see PodPorn go down (so to speak).

I think I'm offended, but I'm not sure

You win, I'll go vote.

By the way, I would've said to throw ChristianPod to the lions, but that's just me. And I'm not touching the PodPorn thing.

[seanolan]

Well, we are currently 316 overall and #11 in Education. Folks, voting once isn't enough...vote EVERY month...and watch PodCooking go down en flambe...

watch PodCooking go down en flambe...

Nice...

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but let's not promote jpod101 by badmouthing (even if it isn't seriously) other podcasts. This is not a high school pep rally, and you never know who you might accidentally offend here in the public forum, however mildly. Like, just for an example, a forum admin who happens to be a devout Christian. OK?

It's the "lion" thing wasn't it? Honestly, no offense meant and hopefully none taken. I was merely trying to highlight one offensive statement by using another. Using absurdity to highlight absurdity, you see.

If you were actually offended by my little jest, I sincerely apologize for that. I don't want to offend anyone around here on purpose...That's what my site is for.

The PodPorn "going down" thing was pretty funny though...

[Jason]

It's ok. It's not just about my personal response, though lions and martyrdom in general are kind of sore subjects for Christians. But my personal feelings aside, we like to maintain a positive atmosphere around here. As benign as a putdown may be intended, it may not actually get taken that way especially if it's about competing podcasts. So I think it would be best if we steered clear of it all togehter.

Ok, I'll give you that.

Can do!

If it would make anyone feel better, you can make fun of geeky b-movie nerds like me. Trust me, there's a lot of fertile ground there.

Haha! I'll keep that in mind.

Jason, have you remembered to vote?

Ok, folks, we are 142 overall and up to #5 in Education...and since I cannot badmouth podcasts anymore (not even PodPorn??? after all, they're not only beating the bishop {by 6 places! Poor "Catholic Family Podcast"!} but they're still beating us!) let me just say we should be #1 in Education, ladies and gentlemen! Show your support! Go vote and get us up to #1!

...and if anyone is offended by anything I write, I sincerely apologize. And if anyone is not offended by anything I write, you need to pay closer attention.

"Beating the bishop"?

Never heard that one before... Is that a reference to the shape of the chess piece?
