In which David sells out
No, I haven't sold out.
OK... maybe I have sold out... but just a tiny bit. Alright, maybe a lot.
Perhaps a word of explanation might be in order.
When you clicked over to treppenwitz today you probably couldn't help but notice the rather, shall we say, eye-catching, fishnet-clad gams at the top of the right sidebar.
Those of you who follow the 'spoken word' edition of my journal will have to take my word on this one.
Don't worry, I haven't started accepting ads for pr0n sites here at treppenwitz. The rather eye-catching ad there on the right is actually for a new political satire blog. The legs tie in with the site's tag line "The satirical website with legs".
Get it?
Just to be clear, treppenwitz is still, and will remain for the foreseeable future, a family-friendly site. It's just that the 'family' I have in mind when I think of my demographic doesn't necessarily all live in Williamsburg or Mea Sha'arim.
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot of skin exposed over there... and I almost turned down the ad for that reason. But the truth is, you see more skin than that walking down most streets in any big city. If you really find the picture in the ad offensive, my advice is that you pretend you are walking down a street in New York, Paris or Tel Aviv... and simply don't look.
Needless to say, if anyone would like to advertise their blogs, websites or businesses here on treppenwitz, I think you'll find the rates to be quite competitive (for instance the ad we are discussing here cost a paltry $10 to run for a week)... and the site traffic and demographics here are pretty attractive.
Of course greetings and wishes for birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, condolences and such are also gladly accepted. Heck, I will even allow trolls to post unflattering things about me in paid ads... provided the language remains rated, shall we say, PG-ish or better.
To begin setting up an ad, click on the words 'your ad here' at the bottom of the advertisement section... or simply click here for more information.
This commercial announcement brought to you by:
'Cooper Tires... The Round Ones!'
[note: If anyone was seriously offended by the content of the ad with the legs, please let me know and I will refrain from renewing it. If someone is going to be uncomfortable here, I would rather it be because of something I write... not due to advertising content.]

As u rightly guessed Brad is a pseudonym that I use. For accuracy's sake lets just say that ur stories about the living on the west side and being acquainted with people of Homosexual orientation are very familiar to me, and u could rightly classify my background(and probably my current state) as solidly in the modern-orthodox world. Invite me for shabbos next time im in Israel and u can attempt to further classify me.

Now I'm feeling ripped off - I seem to have missed both versions of the ad!
On a more serious note, I'm really not up with all the goingson over there (or indeed here) at the moment, but well, stay safe is I guess the best I can say. Thinking of you and yours, and all the other innocents who continue to suffer.
