Going Viral (in an STD sort of a way)

Undoubtedly, you know about how the Governor of New York fucked a prostitute like 10 times and it cost him his job. The woman who whored herself out to the Guvn’r, it turns out, has a MySpace profile! OK, it’s not really that surprising. I just looked again, and it was taken down so I can’t tell you the number of hits she got. But when I looked this morning, this chick had more than 4 million views. And I can’t believe that it was to hear her sheisty music single.

But that’s truly a viral thing. Of course her name and reference to her myspace page was in every news article about it, but that’s how viral marketing works.

But she is pretty fucking hot, I wonder what the ratio of really attractive prostitutes to nasty ones is.

[update: Turns out she got over 5 million hits in less than a day. I have a feeling this is going to be the feel-good story of the 2008 election. Anyone want to bet that she makes it onto Oprah? To get hits like that for my company would put us through the roof. Now all we need is for a politician to sleep with us.]
