Drudge new black and white format *vanity*

I posted about this on FR the other day and thought it was only a temporary thing and/or Drudge was sending out some type of message.

Looks like the b&w thing is there to stay. Not sure why the new format but I don't like it. Oh well, it's his website and it is what it is.

[al baby]

B/W its the new gay

[Brookhaven]

It makes the ads pop off the page. A good selling point for advertisers.

He’s returning to his roots.

In the beginning, lots of people couldn’t load color photos.

[Vendome]

I like it temporarily to demonstrate the mood of the country and our deplorable state of affairs

[humblegunner]

As long as he writes in ALL CAPS he’s a bunghole to me.

[BMC1]

It’s ugly and boring. If I wanted black and white I could look at pictures of my grandparents.

[null and void]

It's his way of showing he's not supporting a colored president.

sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry,

Here's some Drudge color:

[Red Badger]

He’s so gray.............

[Berlin_Freeper]

The Three Weeks

[Theoria]

It's a good starting point to transition to color images when something is really breaking or of need. The difference is really eye catching.

[zipper]

I like it.

It’s a literary device.

It’s a silent protest.

It represents government oppression, and the sapping of life from the private sector in favor of bigger government.

Our choices for the future, embodied by the coming election, are stark. Black and white choices. Freedom or slavery. Capitalism or Communism. Self-determination or dependency.

[Cyber Liberty]

I went, I saw, it sux.

[SE Mom]

I dropped him a note and asked WHY is our world suddenly in black and white? Last I checked he hadn’t tweeted about it either. Interesting. I’m certain he has a reason for it- but wonder if he’ll tell us or let the reader decide what it means..

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Maybe it’s a “fair use” ploy, where he’d get nicked for royalties on the color versions, but by changing them to monochrome he doesn’t.

[PhiloBedo]

Take a screen shot for me...I haven’t been there since he became the anti-newt site.

[t1b8zs]

Me,I dont care I like BW. I am a BW purist from way back.....self tought zone system in an inviormentaly incorect dark room in the house the whole thing.Loved it and miss it.

Did a video here in the woods to day.....BW with an infrared filter.....Looks really cool.

[92nina]

how dare he tell the truth about that fat charlatan....

[gunnyg]

yeh! looks like b&w and all else related has gone the way of the old usa, constitution, etc...... folks just cannot handle anything w/o bells and whistles, glitter and...well, BS!

Semper Watching!

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

Indeed. This is risky, however. It affects the visual appeal of his content and lack of being able to highlight certain ‘hot topics’ creates a more time consuming user experience.

[Jedidah]

Exactly what I thought. Seems sadly fitting this summer.

And it is his site; he can do with it what he wants.

[Jedidah]

Silly. Like he cares whether you visit.

He’s often the anti-Obama site, too.

[t1b8zs]

Hey “Boats”...search “Ansel Adams” for ugly and boring you may be enlightened and get yer self a Kodak Brownie....no,no no Boats settle down, its a camera!

[risen_feenix]

Freepers still use Drudge? I’ve been using “BadBlue.com” since Drudge was recruited to be Romney’s “power bottom”.

http://badblue.com ... Much better than drudge, and actually conservatively focused.

[bigbob]

It’s a racist thing...

[SaraJohnson]

B/W its the new gay

Fabulous! :)

[OB1kNOb]

This reminds me of one of my most favorite comic strips.

[t1b8zs]

page sux to unorganized.....So basic it be better in Black and White

[JennysCool]

It makes the ads pop off the page.

Yup. Smart marketing.

[prisoner6]

Bingo.

[bimboeruption]

Who cares? I’ve got more important stuff to worry about, and besides, it’s only been b/w a few days. Drudge could change it back at any time.

[cripplecreek]

LOL While I'm not a Newt fan, I'm always happy to see someone with the principles to take a stand and stick with it.

[KYGrandma]

I must have bad eyes. It was so busy I couldn’t read it. I don’t think I will be reading BadBlue.

[patriot08]

I don’t like it. Is he nuts??

[Sporke]

I hadn’t heard that “Boats” expression for 20 years. That made my day!! :-D

[OldMissileer]

One of the best comics and that particular set great.

[Chode]

trying to save money, those colored electrons cost a fortune...

[Chode]

ads? what ads??? i never see ads... that's what ad blocker is for

[LaserJock]

meh.

I haven’t visited his site since Bloody Thursday. I could handle his obvious Romney bias during the primary, but the dishonesty on display that day lost me as a customer forever.

I don’t do this kinda thing lightly and pick my fights carefully. I still haven’t willingly bought a French product since the Libyan air raid...

[PhiloBedo]

No...it was over-the-top, unrestrained bias. Many of the story’s were liberal SRM hack jobs.

I’m not a big Newt fan either, not my 1st or 2nd choice, but he’s a better man than Romney.

[PhiloBedo]

Silly? I didn’t say whether it mattered to me. Fact is, I don’t care if he doesn’t care if I don’t go to his site. Some other poster mentioned his hits are down 750k.....like I care, though.

Drudge is just a poofter that hit on a good idea, long ago. Now his site is dated and obsolete. It hit it’s expiration date.

[Lancey Howard]

Huh... Personally, I couldn’t care less if the pix are in color or b/w.
I just want the freaking facts.

[Windflier]

I haven’t been there since he became the anti-newt site.

Same here, and I won't ever go back.

[xenob]

I clicked BadBlue and now my eyes are bleeding. Horrible site. I’ll stick with Drudge...
