For the Sake of Science

So I guess keep giving him more, right? Here’s the email he sent me after I asked him if he was seriously unaware of the Streisand Effect.

Oh, I am actually very grateful to you for spreading the word and creating a free publicity campaign for me. A lot of people who would never have heard about me, may now wonder and start to investigate. Eventually, they may want to know for themselves what this is about and buy some books of mine. I couldn’t have asked for a more effective advertising campaign. In fact, my stat counter shows that I had a 563% increase in genuine visitors yesterday and as of this early morning it is already double the number. So if it continues out be a huge success I may send you a check. I don’t mind the dozen swear emails, when my business is booming, thanks to your awareness campaign. I never had such a spike of interest in my work. Thanks again, you turned out to be a great blessing. And please, keep it going.

You hear that? He’s got all sorts of new visitors. Business must be booming. There’s no way nearly all of these new visitors could actually be people who despise everything he does. Right?

Oh, and the first result on Google right now is Orac’s post.
