I’m starting to wonder whether the Crazy Frog is just a nefarious ploy by the BBC to finish ITV off once and for all.

I mean, think about it!
Step 1: Make an incredibly annoying ad
Step 2: Pay ITV to show it every ad break until everyone is heartily sick of it.

At this point, ITV haemmorages viewers every time it comes on. Ad breaks become worthless because people learn to switch over during them.

Step 3: Thanks to ITV’s new pricing structure for ads, saturate ad breaks with nothing but ads for Crazy Frog, Sweety the Chick and that bloody dragon thing. And maybe a few “No Win No Fee” dodgy soliciters’ ads too.
Step 4: Stop paying! ITV dies!

The only way to make the plan absolutely flawless would be to stage it while ITV is devoting a ridiculous amount of airtime to a pointless reality show that nobody watches – but has reportedly cost them around £15 million to make – just as it is about to be crushed underfoot by the new series of Big Brother. Oh wait!

Still, if you’re as sick of Crazy Frog as I am, maybe you can find the perfect antidote here. Warning though: contains sweary-do’s!

I must admit, I often get curious about how my visitors happen across this site, especially when they seem to pop up from nowhere. Should I know this person? Are they perhaps someone I wronged in a past life, or some kind of deranged fan? Or is there a more rational explanation? I suspect so, but that doesn’t mean I know what it is!

In an attempt to answer this question, I cracked open the server logs for the first time in ages. Among the more interesting findings…

• Some Welshie who shall remain nameless is such a fanboy, they have their copy of Thunderbird firing requests at my RSS every minute. That’s dedication! That’s also a great way to fill my logs. :~
• Some bloke on a German forum decided to link to my Melee Island 3D trailer, making my bandwidth usage rocket for one day only in the process. Hooray?
• People consistently arrive here looking for Consolevania, even though what they’re looking for is the top result on Google and this site is pages back! Are the Consolevania boys possibly being a bit vain, or are people on the internet that stupid? Actually, don’t answer that.

My only regret is I don’t get the array of silly Google queries that Remi seems to get. Maybe in time, eh? Maybe in time. If I can be arsed updating more than once a month.
