As I said, it's not exactly the same thing, but I was responding more to the notion of the too-common extreme the poster above me seemed to elude to; not necessarily directly in response to your content. Other than perhaps this individual posting of yours, I don't think you're in the same ballpark as the more common and extreme examples I discussed. (I was going to post the URL of the most recent example of this game that we played, but it strikes me as bordering on mean-spirited.)

Also, I'm not sure why you would take particular note of the "whore" part of the phrase "attention whore". One who seeks attention through deliberately meaningless or provocative tactics. Meaningless seems inaccurate, but provocative is appropriate and clearly intentional. And, again, I'm talking more about the pattern in the industry of attention-whoring rather than your specific instance. You know, like someone who has a hundred thousand twitter followers and the first thing you find on google when searching on the name of these "journalists" are bikini photoshoots for men's magazines.

I see what you're saying, definitely not trying to join that camp, but point taken.
