UTTER FAILURE

“Pyjama Media is an utter failure,” declares David Heidelberg. “A look at their website’s stat counter reveals that they average 20 visits a day. 20 VISITS A DAY!!! HAHAHAHAHA. My piddley little site averages 30 hits a day!!” Triumphant, Heidelberg continues:

Of course we can’t forget our own homegrown wingnut, tim blair is a member of the Pyjamas Media Advisory committee. There he is on the right of picture during their launch. What a great addition to tim’s CV. And next time he derides Margo Kingston for the ultimate failure of Webdiary, I think we should remind him of this joke.

Firstly, I resigned from Pajamas Media (note the spelling) in November, a decision widely noted at the time by people who can read.

Secondly, the stat counter Heidelberg cites is nothing to do with Pajamas Media (which, by the way, is doing rather well). It’s actually the Sitemeter tally for unpopular Wordpress-hosted spoof site Pyjamas Media. That’s pyjamas, Dave; with a “y”.

Thirdly, David’s corrections and apologies should really be something to see. Click over to his blog for updates.

  5. Jim - is that some gender non-specific, feminist-approved version of Instapundit?

    Re. Heidelberg; too tragic. The man’s an utter joke.

  6. Heidelberg remains a clueless loser.  It’s bad enough that he’s a terrorist apologist, but really, this sets a new standard for the definition of “stupid”.

  9. Pyjamas Media entered the world late last year promising to bring a new level of accuracy and integrity to the blogosphere. Problem being, no one is interested.

    Er, I thought it was intended to bring a new level of *advertising revenue* to the blogosphere.

  11. David Heidelberg probably subscribes to the “fake but accurate” CBS type of journalism. The man seems to be permanently stuck on stupid.

  14. that malcolm frazer will live in infamy, he’s a traitor to australia and all the arab problems can be blamed on him and his immigration minister for allowing mass lebo immigration without any proper checks.

  15. We may only get 20 hits a day, but they are quality hits: me and 19 of my closest friends.

    And, no, it’s not Pam. Believe me. I’ve tried to talk her into it.

  16. His claim of thirty hits sounds outrageously inflated, like his ego.

  17. I have never seen such a thorough ass kicking as what has transpired here. David deserves a special honor. I suggest we call it The Heidelberg Award, given each year to the blogger who makes the most spectacular foul up.

  18. Ah, the twit admitted his mistake.

  19. BUAWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

    Mushtaq has admitted his error.

    Now comes the fun part.  Sure as shinola on a barnyard boot, Mushie is going to read Tim’s blog, and jump on any mistake, large or small.  I’m betting that any such post with be so righteous and indignant in nature as to make Pat Buchanan sound like your local volunteer pastor.

    It’s certainly all fun and games until someone looses an eye.

    It’s “loses,” loser.

  21. Well, you know, I’m inclined to give the guy a teeny bit of credit for admitting the mistake; puts him well ahead of most of his colleagues.

    It would good to do that. But Heidelberg’s MO is to start the same shit shortly after. And unrealized apologies have become fashionable.

  23. Heidelberg awards is good. Yes, he deserves consideration for admitting the blunders. But that’s all. Game back on!

    Which link?

  25. Or should that be which post?  The point is, I can’t find the picture paco is talking about.

    Posted by jic on 2006 02 01 at 08:36 PM • permalink

  26. It was a picture on Mushie’s blog, jic.  The same post discussed on this thread…..which has been replaced by the grudging retraction by Mushie.  So you missed it.

  28. If there are people on his blog defending him they will all be him using another names.  He tends to do that a bit.

  31. #20:  - It’s certainly all fun and games until someone looses an eye. It’s “loses,” loser. -

    No, I think he actually meant that it’s possible for an evil super villain to “loose” his powerful bionic eye on his unsuspecting enemies, where it will wreck havoc by means of optically transmitted gamma rays. Of course, he’s still a loser.

  37. He’s fallen on his sword - that’s appropriate in the circumstances. As Scott Wickstein said, many others wouldn’t do the same. I also admired his reasons for leaving blogging. Okay - so he made a turkey of himself. We’ve all done it at some point in our lives. I think he’s done the right thing. Good on him.

    Ant must not go! We need to push him, but not too far. We went too far with Margo, and she bailed. It’s about time we became conservationists - otherwise we won’t have anyone to laugh at.
