Admit it, you have a problem

When was the last time you took a shower? I bet it was this morning, right? I can tell by the smell of you. I bet you are thinking about it right now. Your skin shivering at the thought of clean hot water pouring over you. It makes you feel safe and comfortable right? Well it’s just the opposite man. You’re naked, you’re alone. You have a problem and you just can’t admit. I’m concerned. We’ve talked about it before and you said you could stop. But now you’re doing it every day again, like it’s nothing. It’s called addiction and it’s no laughing matter.

Just as ridiculous.

    I’ve just lost a boatload of respect for you man. Although I don’t agree with EVERYTHING about XXX church, it is a major problem for some people and you just smacked them in the face.

  2. Chris Coyier says:

    Wait I had a new idea. They should change their name to the “Throat Fucking Kiddie Porn Britney Spears Nude XXX Church.” That way, they’ll get even more web search traffic.

    Oh no! I can’t stop beating off and my penis is all red and bloody! Jesus save me!

    Hi Chris, I like your sense of humour: shocking people who take themselves so seriously that they don’t even realize that somebody is trying to push them off their ivory tower.

    Wow Chris, This post and your follow up comments are not a high moment for you. I speak as a friend, and of course, I’m not going anywhere on that front. It just seems a shame to intentionally polarize people with what gained in return?

  9. Chris Coyier says:

    I think the whole thing is hysterical. Porn addiction? C’mon. Calling it XXX Church? C’mon. If people wanna hate me for thinking that’s ridiculous and saying so on my personal website, fine, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

    Sick of being baptised by WATER? …XXX Church is for you!

    couldn’t resist.

    As for people in the comments. chill!

    Some people are too fucking sensitive. I think this is funny. Whatever readers you lose because of this, I say “good” you didn’t need them as a reader anyways :)

  12. Devin Walker says:

    Awesome! The dark side of Chris Coyier. ahaha

  13. TeMc says:

    Interesting post you got there Chris.

    I think a lot of things these days are judged in a totally weird way if you step back to a bigger point of view.

    Here’s another one:

    Research shows that 99.9% of criminals ate bread sometime in the 24 hours before they committed the crime. That would strongly suggest bread causes crimewave !!

    Well, there are a lot of breadsticks on the table in those Italian restaurants where Tony Soprano likes to eat xD

    Haha, you’ve just earned a spot in my RSS reader, Chris. It’s glad to see a professional being a little more personal, especially since it’s a personal blog.

  15. Berthold says:

    I don’t have an RSS reader, but if I did it would now wear this blog for a party hat.

    Being asked not to polarise actually makes me try harder. If you’re not emotionally engaging people, what would be the reason for soapboxes?
