Blogvertising

You may have spotted a pronounced lack of adverts on this blog.  Or perhaps you haven't, because you have become so inured to them that you just don't notice them anymore.  Either that or, like most of us, you have become conditioned to expect ads on every web page ever written after 1997 and so simply assume them to be there.

However, Sniffer has determined that this blog at least should be about the writing and nothing else.  He assumes that you are probably receiving enough sensory overload about how your life would be much better if you bought whatever tawdry piece of crap is being hawked by at the time by some Western company with few assets apart from a marketing department (as if that was ever an asset), hauling their tat across the planet from sweatshops in inland China or perhaps Vietnam or Bangladesh.  He also assumes that you all have the intelligence to go and buy things you want or need, without needing to be prodded into it by flash-(sic)-ing ads on this page.  In fact, he would be horrified if you were.  Consequently, this site is ad-free and will remain ad-free.  There will be no kneeling down before corporate c*ck here.  This is one of the cornerstones of Sniffer's manifesto. 

Of course, should a multinational sponsor appear, Diageo, for example or InBev, then this cornerstone may be in for some refacing.  Equally, if the readership swells to a sufficient number that advertising seems an easy way to engorge Sniffer's wallet, then expect hypocrisy and u-turning on an almost Parliamentary level when faced with what is being waved in front of his face.

Mine's a large one.  Make of that what you will.
