Great traffic, Farked twice

Thursday, Feb. 21 was a monster day with 39,300 unique visitors and 153,270 page views.

We were Farked twice. Beth's story on our low-riding pants girl picked up more than 10,000 page views, thanks, in part, to Andrew's very clever Fark headline : ♫ Take a little trip. Take a little trip. Take a little trip with me-ee. ♫ But not not on this bus. Low rider's hanging pants got her kicked off"

The York County Coast Star also got Farked for its story "fines for fuel." This picked up more than 2,000 page views. Here was the Fark submitter's take on this story: "Maine town gives the recipients of parking tickets the option of giving the money from the fine to buy heating oil for those in need. So go grab that handicap space and do your part for the needy."

I know you'll all be shocked that the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model also did very well.
