It's Chock-Full-of-Weirdos Day at HolyCoast.com

UPDATED and BUMPED: I got up this morning and checked my visitor stats (as every blogger does) and found that I had 10 times the visitors I would normally have at that time of the morning. What's going on? Did I get a link from Instapundit or one of the other big blogs that generate traffic like a firehose?

Nope, it's another rush of weirdos trying to find some sickening accident photos that I referred to in a post over a year ago. Every so often something sets them off and thousands of people start Google searching certain terms which lead them to the posts on that particular accident. I never actually posted any of the accident shots and wouldn't even consider it, but there are a bunch of sickos out there who get their jollies with that stuff. Awhile back I set up a little link trap for all those people and every day a handful fall in and wallow around for awhile desperate to find the photos. Today I'm catching them like skeeters in an Arkansas bug zapper.

You can see the details of the trap here. It keeps me entertained.

It'll be a big traffic day at HolyCoast.com, and I enjoy doing my part to frustrate the oddballs in the blogosphere.

UPDATE: I've been watching where the weirdos are coming from and here's a sample of some of the firms whose employees (based on their IP registrations) have time to search the internet for gory accident photos of a dead 18 year old girl :
