Couple months ago, I posted something about “sexy” Halloween costumes (I’m nothing if not edgy). One of the costumes I mentioned was “sexy” Popeye.
I wrote that “sexy” Popeye, as a concept, is deeply disturbing. It’s disturbing, I think, that someone would look at the one-eyed, bald sailor-man and think, “You know what would be hot? If we put him in a miniskirt.”
It turns out that’s a thing.
In the past 30 days, according to WordPress’ search statistics, that several people have stumbled across my blog after searching for some version of the phrase “sexy Popeye,” including “popeye szexy” and “comics de popeye sexy.”
Today is Dec. 6. Thirty days ago would be Nov. 6, a week after Halloween, so I think we can assume none of these people were looking for Halloween costumes.
They were looking for sexy pictures of Popeye.
You’re one sick puppy, Internet.
Hey Todd! Am in total agreement about sick – how about the sick puppies searching the internet for sexy bald one-eyed men. Yikes!
The Internet is a strange place, Izzie. Think of anything, no matter how weird, and I guarantee you’ll find a bunch of websites about it (but don’t do this at work).
Sexy Popeye? All I can say is ewwwwwwwww!
I know, right? Sexy pirate, I get. Sexy cop, OK. I even saw a costume for a sexy Olive Oyl, which was kind of a stretch, but OK, that could work, but sexy Popeye? That’s disturbing.
Um…how did I end up here?!? I was looking for sick puppies.
Hard to say, Hipster. One thing just leads to another.
The things people search for crack me up… it make me laugh even harder when I try to imagine what they thought when they got my post (which often is not exactly what they were looking for). My favorite search term to day for my blog is “Spongebob tampon”, although I also get a lot of searches for “penis pin” as well.
Damn, I’m 8th to comment and now totally outdone by Sexy Popeye and Spongebob Tampon! Guess I’ll stick to less edgy search terms of Ant farm and Triple chin.
The Spongebob search term is just weird. I’m afraid to Google it, because God knows what’ll turn up.
That’s funny!
It’s creepy.
Nothing has escaped sexy-fication. Nothing. These are strange times we live in.
Somebody ought to sell tickets.
OMG.
At least it looks like you are getting international exposure. But I’m not sure where “comics de popeye sexy” came from.
I’m afraid to Google it.
C’mon Todd, you’re falling behind on the Popeye craze;)
