Counterfeit Content - Culture jamming my old SEO job

I watched the low-budget horror comedy Don’t Let the Riverbeast Get You! the other day, and it’s written in a style that is remarkably similar to these Counterfeit Content blog posts. Feels weird to compare my work to someone else’s in this way, but if you like this stuff then you might like that movie.

Like, the main character is a tutor, and people see him and say to themselves, “there goes the greatest tutor this town has ever seen!” There’s a lot of subtle worldbuilding about how the town has a Ministry of Tutors that he has to send a special assignment request to. There’s a famous big game hunter named Ito Hootkins who’s supposed to catch a monster, but spends the whole movie wasting time in the woods photographing the “Picnic Babes”, a pair of women who are just ALWAYS there hanging out through the entire movie. It’s great, just completely, knowingly stupid in the best way.
