| 59 | Percentile Rank: 67Turkey Necks faired better in the template category than some of the blogs I've recently compiled reviews for, though you can't please everyone:
The look of this blog is fantastic. Definitely not like other blogs.
I know that many reviewers don't like black backgrounds and white typeset but I didn't mind that here and I liked the layout a lot. I thought that the cutout drawing of (presumably) the author was kind of cool and I also liked the green and black together.
I like the template, it's original and fun. There's no information about the author, which is a bit disappointing. Also the twitter thing confused me, what's the point of it?
The white writing on the black background is very painful for ones eyes, and then on top of that with the green sidebar, I feel like I've gone into a hypnotic shock.
The reviewers were either put off or intrigued by the course nature of many of the posts:
A bit angry, but then, I'm no girl scout myself.
All in all, excellent job, very funny--crude and hostile, which I like--and I'm definitely going to bookmark it.
Turned off from the start by the instant "That lump you found is Cancer" crack. Poor taste. Blog color matched the tone of the writing, it reminded me of baby food spinach. Even the most health concious mother has reservations about feeding her baby such ugly looking mush.
Oh I like the hell out of this blog. The author is completely full of himself and not timid about it. There's something very entertaining about a cocky as all hell blogger. The subject matter could be a little more captivating, but overall, he's definitely got himself a strong blog. Good work giblet man.
Wow, my eyes really hurt after reading this guys entries, and I'm more offended than when I read that Britney Spears was the number one story on CNN.
I scrolled around, trying to find a post that would draw a smile or a laugh, it just felt mad and mean.
As far as funniness, most of the reviewers dug at least some of what they read: When I first clicked on it, I didn't care for the "s"-bomb in his header, but I started reading and fell in love almost immediately. He even made me laugh out loud, and almost nobody manages that.
You had me at 'hello' with: True, some might argue that I’ve always been all out of funny, but to those I would say “look, I don’t care how long we’ve been married, if I wanted my wife’s opinion, I’d have sent you a text message asking for it.” And then you kept it up. Most excellent.
This blog was amusing to me. It's kind of like listening to your pervy cousin at the family reunion...you have options...you could go listen to Aunt Erma talk about her bunion surgery...but you (wisely) decide to hang out and listen to your cousin ranting about bending his boner during a sex dream involving a teenager.
Let's see... I really dig how the dialogue balloon changes phrases each time you refresh the window. To be honest, and I did leave this as a comment on his blog, I immediately banked heavily on him being a regular amusing read and immediately put him in my bookmarks when I read "and I bent my boner." That right there hits just the right amount of humor and schadenfreude in my book! Good luck to him and his blogging endeavors!
The reviewers' opinions about post length differed greatly: My only constructive criticism would be for him to try shortening his paragraphs. White space is unbelievably important when you're reading on a computer screen. Standard paragraph lengths need not apply.
Short posts containing short paragraphs are easier to read, thus the reader does not get bored easily -- good job on that front.
Not a bad read. Some of the posts seemed like one really log sentence and that's not good 'cause when you're reading you don't know when to take a breath and then you have to go back and try to read it again inserting your own mental commas so you don't turn blue from oxygen depravation when all you really wanted was the funny stuff that is harder to laugh at now 'cause you're studying too hard. (see?)
Looks like Turkeyblog gained a few fans while the reviewers were looking it over. It also offended a few people, but somehow I don't think that's going to bother our turkey-necked blogger. Well done, Turkeyblog. Keep on blogging!
