  • There's something about Xanga's Frontpage "Featured" weblogs...

    The content stinks. It's like going through Calculus 3 again--simply
    dreadful. I've seen better content in a Keeanu Reeves acting video for
    porn stars. This waste of bandwidth is honestly worth "featuring"? And
    they're supposedly "hand-picked". I could've sworn they randomly threw
    pieces of paper with Xangan screen names into a bag, and asked hobos to
    fart into it until a name came flying out. Talk about crap. ZING!

    Here are some other alternatives to what you see now:

    • Man getting hit in the groin with a football.
    • Another Asian lip-synch webcam video.
    • College students doing something stupid (e.g. jumping from a moving car)
    • Hardcore nudity.

  • Ridicurous!

  • Is someone feeling bad because they're not featured?

  • Holy shit, first one!

  • Oh shush Chris.  You've been on featured content more times than I could count.  Not that I've been counting.  Hahahaha.

  • what's the alternative, thetheologianscafe taking up half the spots?

  • 95% of the featured pages aren't readable or interesting. It should be relabeled "Content to Avoid". And what about TheologiansCafe? "Hey, I'll ask redundant pointless questions every day..."

  • thank you for your words. (wink)

  • Fourizzles. I never read the featured content. Make up tutorials? Are you serious?

    Credits to John for trying though. We know how difficult it is to find good content on Xanga.

    And stop whining!

  • i'm lovin the spartan photo. funny how i hear his voice every time i see this pic. SBAAARRROOOO

  • please don't post up naked pictures of yourself

  • i believe "featured" xanga sites are based off of hits and eprops.

    p.s. he would never dine in sbarro cuz the sauce is tomato and not blood.  that's just sacrilege!

  • featured weblogs are a joke. i've been meaning to write about it, but i haven't really been updating much.

  • indeed. 'Tis why we should sign some petition to get the good ol' rating eprops system back.

  • there is no they for those posts - i picked them.

    i'm open to suggestions - how should the frontpage work?

  • hahahaha... yea. i've noticed that monay of the frontpage blogs are very boring.

  • At least John got rid of featuring the anorexia/bulimia pages and anything with "cafe" in it...

  • Mmm. I was browsing the featured pages not too long ago and didn't find anything interesting AT ALL. And then I wondered why you're no longer up there. Maybe the world of xanga was taken over by aliens who despise people by the name of Cakalusa? No? Not so much? Alright, then. Well, if you just show a picture of your nude ash, you're sure to make it to the featured column. Right?

    p.s. Think of me as Desiree "the Awesome" Rose. ;)

  • i have a secret penchant for sbarro.

    i think everyone does.

  • Hahaha!  You've been far too nice lately, glad to see the return of a little bit of Asian venom...

  • caka poo poo

  • lol i loved some of these comments

    i avoid the frontpage so im good

  • i always liked ricebunny on featured content :)

    and of course, you too.

  • Mmm Brooklyn Bagels..

    STOP TEMPTING ME

  • AC Milan won uefa, I'm sooooooo excited.

    Oh, John does it himself? Better be careful, else you piss off the big man himself. We all remember Bianca and the xangalympics as examples of the willingness of the xanga team to commit underhanded acts.

  • you got that right home fry!! i enjoy reading your xanga the most by the way. um yeah mine is super boring but that's because i'm probably just boring. hahaha

    <3Always,
    Nary

  • Now Sbarro... Thats something to fight to the last man for;) Where was Sbarros when my high school soccer team was getting their asses handed back to them in manila envelopes??

    cheers.

    ----------------SLIM APPROVED--------------

  • don't worry chris, you're still MY featured weblog.

  • So true, so true... Why the fuck haven't I been featured?! I talk about sex (or lack thereof), masturbation, video games, and rock n' roll! What more could these Xangans ask for? Oh yeah, playing pretend and instructions on how to tip waiters... McFuck that shit.

  • hMmm... :P

  • rooaaaarrr! what a ferocious fork.

  • i know. so boring. yawn.

  • AND THAT IS WHY I DON'T USE EPROPS

    It would be embarassing to be up there with them.

    P.S. Love all the 300 pics

  • I was featured in the "Spotlight" back in the day when we still had it. Of course there isn't a single bit of content oozing out of my Xanga, the site just looked nice. Worst thing about it though, all the 13 year old teenie-boppers commenting my posts telling me I "have a cool site" and "random props". I like to think of those as the Xangan Dark Ages. *SHUDDERS*

  • hahaha i agree so much. A makeup guide? FTW?

  • ZzzzzZzzzzzz so harsh >.<

  • roflcopter.

  • LOL

    I never tire of 300 jokes.

  • So true, so true

  • Meh, last time I went to the featured content page all I saw were a bunch of Chinese/Korean Xanga sites with pictures of them doing faces like :3.

    Blargh.

    :)

  • Go here and check out the featured content. You used to be the top dog around here!

  • What gets me more mad about the featured content is that they feature this asian guy named Chris! XD

  • man that's what i've been saying about the featured blogs! it's a bunch of crap, and all people can say is "oh you're just jealous"... it's like fuck off you're an idiot... bring back the REAL featured content. the blogs with loyal readers who comeback everyday to read, comment, eprop because they have something interesting to blog about. i guess this some sort of Xanga affirmative action to reach out to smaller blogs who don't get that much exposure.

  • Lmao. Reminds me of this radio show list of "How to tell if you're in a really bad Italian restaurant"...

    "The napkin says SBARRO"

    Hahaha

  • That mask is quite awesome by the way.

  • THIS IS SPARTA!

  • MadV?

  • 300 mmm delicous. I have a 300 lunchbox, Tonight we dine in HELL!!!!

  • I wondered what it's like to be featured.

  • Hahaha....Xanga's Frontpage "Featured" Weblogs is the only reason I found your and Ricebunny's blogs.  Normally I don't bother unless something catches my eye. 

  • This post isn't terribly riveting either.
    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

  • they weighed my food at sbarro last time i dined there.
    but it was worth feeling like a fatass

  • You just want to be back on featured frontpage again. :P

  • You're just jealous of them! :P Haha nah, I think most of the featured content stuff is lame too.

  • you should be on featured! :(

  • after reading this post, that was my reaction...

    zzzzz

  • aboout 10% of it is good then the others are worthless. You should be featured!!

  • you're so ridiculously amazing stinkingly STUPID CHINESE BOY STUPID STUPID STUPID funny.

    :D

  • haha.

  • I completely agree. Every once in a while, there's a good one (yours, for instance), but for the most part? LAAAAAAAAAME.

    By the way, did you know May is Asian/Pacific Islander Month?

    Oh. I must've been the only one who didn't.

  • So you're not MadV?

  • What?!

  • So funny!

  • Sbarro's meatballs and lasagna are nasty...at least the ones I went to...I swear that they boil their meat.

  • You know what was missing?!
    EMO morons!!!

  • RED SAUCE ON PASTA!

  • i like nudity.

  • Haha love Sbarro, used to work there on my campus, that one cracked me up... But I agrees! Featured content does suck, I've been looking for interesting people on here with a whole diversity of lifestyles. Who would arrange a silly thing like THAT on Xanga??? The Shoe lady? Love stories? Now Cmon people!

  • OK, Mr. Film-maker...why aren't we seeing you on the new reality show that Stephen Speilberg and Mark Burnett are airing now with the next best film maker/director?

  • i miss the old FC.

  • Most of the stuff, I don't really understand! suxx

  • ryc:  you do have that stuff!?  weird, maybe its an eastcoast thing.  and no, im not the "G"... sigh, im the "I", i don't like that pic, my butt looks big and my legs look pasty!  booo... i look better i swear!   =(

  • I generally don't like the featured content.   I always figured that I'm just pissy that way, and it was only me.

    Anyways I have pretty much broken down what was generally on there:

    A) I love having an eating disorder!

    B) Let me ask you a moronic question. No really. Let me ask!

    C) Stuff in another language other than English.  This wouldn't be bad if i actually could read more than 10 characters. My bad for being a shitty student.  

    D) D list celebrities trying to get the pre-teen vote.

    E) Hot people pics, in which case i'm all for it cause i'm shallow.

    Thankfully, i haven't seen a lot of A) anymore which is a blessing. 

  • wtf is sbaroooo, is that meant to be said like subaru?

  • you should take a picture of the midget michael jackson at the subway.

    naked.

  • sbarro rocks! 'tis truly the eatery of the spartans!

  • Does NetFlix carry that Keanu Reeves video??

  • how does xanga even determine which sites get featured? Not from the amount of comments a blogger receives, right?

  • hey ...

    I actually went and posted all of the Ford's automobiles and deleted that last batch ...
    so hope you will enjoy them.
    Didn't you take a vacation recently out to Hawaii?
    Time for another one eh brah?
    I won't be here much longer, back to the east coast!
    Enjoy the pictures!!!!

  • LOL :) ))

  • how ironic is it that you complained about the featured page and that is exactly how i discovered your page.

  • but in your defense, the crap on there is terrible....usually.

  • Maybe you're just pissed that Ricebunny got featured and you didn't.

  • Hey now people, what is "interesting" and what is "not" is completely relative. But I do notice that its mostly the same people that get featured on the frontpage.

  • damn bro... thanks for not ZZZZZing me out. I always wonder how I get on there... hahah

  • Nice mask. V for Vendetta, right?

  • I see one on featured with only 35 comments. How pathetic is that? What happened to the good old days when featured had posts from people like you talking about hobos farting into bags... *sigh*

  • I love Sbarro...yum

  • I never been featured... I wish I was... But hell, I'm not popular or "cheery". What the hell!!! Check out my Heroes Vid!!! Please please please!!!!

  • i very much agree.
    what? you didnt hear me?
    WELL I VERY MUCH AGREE.

  • I miss Sbarros! We don't have it around where I live anymore.
