In my mind, I imagine people (mainly attractive women, who dig guys with faux-Rivers Cuomo look coming up to me on the street and asking me “Clint, what’s it like being a TV/Pop Culture blogger?”  Well, it’s a rough life.  You spend countless hours deciding what you’re going to write about and then once you’ve settled on an idea, you ask yourself “How am I going to incorporate a Max Headroom reference into this post?”
So you’ve got a site, you have some dedicated readers, but you feel like you’re knowledge of TV and obscure references like when Ed “Too Tall” Jones rescued Arnold off the ledge of their penthouse after a magic trick gone arye in Different strokes.  Or making up clever things that never happened like the episode of Doug when Doug and Patty Mayonnaise had the pregnancy scare after getting smashed at a kegger that Skeeter threw.
So what do you do to get more readers?  You turn to the Queen of Pop Culture Blogs.  Miss Whitney Matheson.

Who is she?  Well she is the author of Pop Candy, the USA Today pop blog.  She can make or break you.  If you submit an article to her and she likes and links to it, your site is flooded with visitors.  However, if you’re like me and she scoffs at everything you’ve ever submitted, then you live your blogging life in a virtual Siberia.
So I’ve decided that I’m going to do something about it.  I have developed a plan for world pop blogging domination.  And because I like you (like you, not like you like you) I will share my pop blogging world domination plan with you.

FIRST GET LINKED WITH A MAJOR PUBLICATION
Most big pop/TV blogs are linked up with a major newspaper, media outlet, or religious faction.  I think that the PennySaver is sorely missing this from their stable of interesting articles and ads for used boats and slightly soiledmattresses.  I will change the face of the PennySaver.  No longer will it be used by bargain hunters, old people and people with rabbits and puppies.  I will single handedly turn “The Saver” into a “must read.”  Thus, the first part of my coup will be complete.

SECOND, GET REFERENCED
After turning “The Saver” into a legitimate publication that has it’s finger on the pulse of pop culture, I will begin to get noticed.  I envision that I will first get noticed by Greg Daniels.  He’ll be surfing the net one day and stumble upon a story on Digg.com about how 227 was the most misunderstood show of our generation.  He’ll then peruse my archives and decide that he must have Pam looking at my blog during another one of Michael’s long winded meetings.  She’ll say something like “Hey Jim, Clint wrote another great article about how Lisa Turtle is the third most important woman in American history behind Elanor Roosevelt and Cathy.”
Then, in an attempt to keep up with the Jones’ my blog appears on other shows like 30 Rock, Flight of the Conchords and 30 Minute Meals.

THIRD, SELL OUT (Even More)
After the media blitz, “The Saver” won’t be able to afford my new astronomical salary demands.  I’ll want 6 figures, a new MacBook every 6 months, on set interviews, free tickets to a Kevin Federline concert and a Ikea Gift Card.  So, looking to jump start it’s online pop blogs, The New York Post will sign me to a multi-year deal.  To help promote my switch, they’ll sponsor a pop blog show down.

FINALLY, WIN THE SHOW DOWN
So the showdown will be rigged.  Whitney will think that it will cover music, movies, DVD releases and all of television.  However, little does she know the The Post and I have stacked the trivia cards in my favor.  The questions will revolve around The Simpsons, Different Strokes and Top Gun.
Whitney will hold her own in the beginning.  She’ll know that Anthony Edwards played Goose, The Gooch was Arnold’s enemy and that no one is gay for Moleman.  But she’ll quickly lose ground and then the war when asked “Who was the comic superhero that Milhouse decided would make a great comic book hero?” and that Jeremy Ironside played Jester in Top Gun.
At this point, Whitney will finally link to my blog and admit that she had been wrong for all those years.

So that’s how it’s going to happen people.  That is how I am going to take over the pop blogging world.  Just be glad you’re in at the ground floor before this thing takes off!
