Hot Chick Rebate
It is no secret that economists think that the tax rebate that everyone but the most productive members of society is currently receiving is not a good policy. To those who think that economics is bland and boring, I say that I can find a way to explain this concept that is neither bland or boring.
Bush and his friends the Democratic Congress expect that a tax rebate will spur economic activity. The economy is like the internet. More access to money drives economic activity. In a similar fashion, access to pictures of hot chicks drive internet activity. Our friends at the MOB's own racist, sexist, anti-gay blog understand this well and have instituted "Hot Chick Friday" as a way to drive traffic on a day when most people are ducking out of work early, thereby depressing both economic and internet activity.
Making "Hot Chick Friday" a weekly event is like lowering a tax rate. Everyone knows that the next time the calendar event rolls around, either the annual tax date or the weekly hot chick date, they will receive a benefit. Therefore, they increase their activity accordingly.
I am going to provide a hot chick rebate. This means, this is a targeted and temporary event, to paraphrase our leadership in Washington. I will report back in a month or so (if I feel like it) and tell you if this event spurred more internet activity in the form of hits to this blog. You can guess the expected result: hits in the near term, then falling off to normal levels.
Here goes your hot chick rebate in the form of a top 11 list:
11. Paris Hilton
10. Jessica Alba (pre-pregnency)
IRS Statement: Your internet activity related to viewing hot chicks has been deemed excessive. Therefore, instead of your full rebate, you are limited to this pro-rated portion. The pro-rating is, by definition, arbitrary. Had you invested less time on the internet looking at hot chicks, you would have received the full top ll list. Please note that this decision is based on your 2007 internet usage. If your 2008 usage is reduced, we may be able to provide you with the full set of pictures.

If I get a $300 rebate, I'll be pissed. Paris Hilton? You couldn't find a single hot chick on the Internet besides Jessica Alba, so you give me Paris Hilton?
For next time (although I'm thinking of leaving for good).

We are not amused.
Paris Hilton isn't hot, she moves like a hunchback when she walks and her stinky-bitchy attitude sucks. Are you serious ?
