The Kingdom of Why?

So I've recently discovered the stats section of my blogger account and it's driving me crazy. Not crazy as in "I want to strip naked and wear a trifle as pants", but crazy as in "I can't stop checking which blogs have the most views.

It started the other day while speaking to Bob. He mentioned something about his most read blogs and how he couldn't work out why those ones were the most popular. I decided to check what mine were and now the answer is running through my head like Mickey Mouse on a steamboat (quite a fitting simile). More people have read my blog about The Kingdom of Hearts than any other blog. I really don't know why. There could be a few explanations;

1) Everyone has played this game and wants to defend it from my unstoppable tirade.
2) People are thinking about buying the game and want my opinion.
3) I advertised it better than other blogs (I didn't)
4) People love Disney so much they just wanted to see the pictures of Michael Mouse.
5) People enjoyed the pictures.

If 1 is the right answer, then why are the only two comments on it, defending my position in a weird way. It doesn't make any sense at all. I was more flippant and stupid than ever before and people all read it and agreed with me.

If 2 is the right answer, then why? really... why? My opinion about games is limited and shallow at best.

If 3 is the right answer, then why can I not remember advertising it any better? Why would I advertise it any differently from my usual post on euan's wall, post on the Euania group and - if I'm really proud of it - post as my status? I don't think I did, but I may have.

If 4 is the right answer, then I'm sure googling Mickey Mouse is going to show you millions of pictures you want to see and just as many pictures that you don't want to see.

If 5 is the right answer - which I think it may be - then you're all idiots and I can just put a different picture on every blog, that represents the theme and it will increase views. I'm going to start it with this blog and see if it helps. If it does, it takes away from the quality (be it good or utter detritus) of my writing and if it doesn't, I still feel quite secure about what I'm doing with my life.

Before I forget, Euan wants me to thank everyone who read his wee blog entry the other day. He showed it to his uncle in a Skype call yesterday afternoon and I think they both had a wee cry at the memory. Quite a nice thing anyway. I told him that he can't just say that was his Christmas present to his uncle, but he disagrees. He says it's the thought that counts and I guess that's right. Not true in every situation though. If the people who lived in the village next to Auschwitz used that as an excuse, they'd have got in a fair bit of trouble - which they did anyway... silly moos.
