When I talked with Marcus Lehman in Gabon last June, I had no idea that his penis would generate more interest than any other story I wrote last year. If I’d known that it’d soon be accidentally exposed to the whole world and become insanely popular, I would have at least asked him a few questions about it.
Just like last year, the stories people read the most on reality blurred were about sex, nudity, or a resident physician’s genitalia. Thus, I will be making changes such as replacing morning-after recaps of The Amazing Race with badly Photoshopped fake nude images of its cast members. (I joke, of course.)
The lists below only represents stories published in 2008, as I filter out previous years’ stories to determine what happened last year that was popular; otherwise, the list would be dominated by other porn stories. This may be the solution to the newspaper and magazine industry’s economic woes: publish lots of free porn.
Anyway, here are the most popular pages on reality blurred over the past year, as determined by the popularity of individual stories and of show-specific archive pages.
