  1. This pie chart confuses me. The slice on the left is red, while the one on the right is also red. Also, there are lines.

  2. While it is funny to continually connect Craig James to the ‘Google Bomb’ related to the hookers, it certainly isn’t funny for him or his family. Using a small team of Indian SEO workers (maybe $2500 budget) over the course of a few weeks ANYONE could find themselves the victim of this sort of attack. D Magazine is above this sort of attack – at least I thought you were…

    BTW – I have no opinion of Craig – never met him. The only thing I know about him is the Google Bomb.

  3. I’m just curious as to who the 626 people were that made up his 2.6% of the vote in Lubbock County?

  4. How would you kill 4.5 hookers?

  6. @Alexander Muse: What attack? Which was the only media organization to call Craig James’ campaign office and actually ASK the tough questions about the hookers? D Magazine. In case you missed it.

  7. The possibility that Craig James Killed 5 Hookers While at SMU is pretty far from funny Alex.

  8. @tim the google bomb is the attack, mentioning creates the links that perpetuate the attack. I know you guys didn’t start it, but referencing it over and over makes it live. I haven’t mentioned it before, but you guys won’t stop because it is funny – yes it is funny.

  9. Tim – this is pretty low even. Even for you. We all know that the notion that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU is absurd. Alexander is spot on. Every time you reference the rumor that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU, you perpetuate the rumor that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU. So even though you’re actually saying that you confirmed with his campaign staff that the rumor that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU is, in fact, a rumor, because of your article, people will continue to believe that Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU.

  11. In a last minute attempt to gain support, Craig James was also seen on the crane at SMU trying to negotiate a surrender.

  12. Remember those sweet, warm spring days on the SMU campus? Remember taking a post-practice dip in a booster’s pool? Remember when you killed those five hookers and casually acted like nothing happened? Pepperidge Farm remembers, but Pepperidge Farm ain’t just gonna keep it to Pepperidge Farm’s self free of charge. Maybe you go out and buy yourself some of these distinctive Milano cookies, maybe this whole thing disappears. IJS.
