User talk:Shane Bugbee

Again:

From Google, 5 minutes ago:

The phrase "Jim Goad" yielded 84,100 hits (not 18,000 as you'd stated in a message to me). If you added "Redneck Manifesto" and "ANSWER Me!" and everything else, there would be considerably more hits. But there's no need to do that, as I think the point is clear enough.

Nearly all of those hits (except for the first one, which links to Goad's website) involved other people writing about Goad.

See the difference? This is not Shane Bugbee (or Shane Bugbee's wife) writing about Shane Bugbee. Other people find Jim Goad interesting and write about him. Failing that, you're left to do a lot of self-promotion. Failing any native creative talent, self-promotion becomes an uphill climb, doesn't it?

The phrase "Shane Bugbee"..502 hits...nearly all of them written by Shane Bugbee or Shane Bugbee's wife, who can't even spell "typos" correctly.

What stands out among all of this is the fact that Shane Bugbee himself—as a creator—has produced nothing notable or lasting. He hasn't written anything or filmed anything or recorded anything of note or anything remotely successful—absolutely nothing. Again and again, he's merely attached himself to notable people—thus the common perception of him that led one commentator to call him a "parasite on the underground." If Forrest Gump is notable merely by squeezing himself into a photo op with LBJ, then I suppose Bugbee is notable. Otherwise, he very clearly isn't. Again, the Google search of his name (as a phrase) yielded only 502 hits. Look closely at the first few pages of hits—every one of them is linked to a site which Bugbee hosts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shawarma Chondroitin (talk • contribs)
