Here is a list of the top 33 affiliate marketing forums.
5 Star Affiliates is one of the best all around sources for affiliate marketing information and networking. Linda Bouquet, the owner of the site, does a great job of providing free resources for anyone interested in affiliate marketing. They specialize in helping new affiliate marketers get started and pointed in the right direction. The forum is pretty active and all topics revolve around the affiliate marketing world. The moderators are also very quick to help and answer questions. There is also a thread for affiliate managers to post their affiliate program for feedback and review!
Affiliate Forum seems to sometimes be un-moderated with the amount of "spam" posts that are posted daily, but always has a few hundred active users online at any given time. Posts can at times receive a lot of views, but responses are few and far between. The fact that the domain is "AffiliateForum.com" guarantees them a certain amount of affiliate traffic, so even though there is a lot of spam, it's one not to ignore. A thread for website reviews is also available here.
Search Engine Watch Forums is a very popular forum for SEO and affiliate marketing topics. The more active in the community you are, the more boards and threads that you have access to post to. They have a small section dedicated to affiliate marketing but still gets a lot of traffic and attention.
Affiliates 4u is a great forum with a lot of activity. Based out of the UK, they focus on UK affiliate programs, but also has a section for all other countries as well. The general affiliate marketing threads are universal, but they focus on talking about affiliate programs that are most successful in the UK. This forum is very active, with 1,000 users online at any given time.
Affiliate Link is much smaller and less active than most of the affiliate forums out there. There is enough activity to get some results from joining the community, but would not spend as much time as the rest of them. You will at most see 20 or 30 active users online. With only 575 total members, there are better places to spend time.
Affiliate Helper is a small forum with about a dozen threads pertaining to affiliate marketing, building a website, and general "making money online" ideas. This is more active than Affiliate Link, but seems to be fading fast.
Revenue Source covers topics ranging from affiliate marketing, reseller programs and also site design and development threads. They give affiliate managers the option to list their affiliate program for a review although it must be approved by a moderator before posting, you can get decent traffic from here.
The DNForum is one of the more popular forums for all online marketing techniques and ideas. Thread Categories range from Domains, Content Development and Affiliate Marketing. They have free forums, and also upgrades are available to be able to post in the "Platinum" or "Gold" members only threads. These threads usually allow you to advertise a product or service or help wanted types of categories. All around a good resource and a very active forum.
Associate Programs is another good resource with very helpful moderators. Allan Gardyne runs this website and personally answers many questions asked on the forums by new affiliates. They focus on providing information and resources for new affiliates, while providing a thread for website reviews and other general online marketing strategies. It doesn't have the most members but members are high quality.
The Affiliates Directory is a small forum that is attached to an actual directory of affiliate programs. You can create an account to list your affiliate marketing program in their directory. The forum is not very active, but good to get link exposure if you make a few posts with your affiliate link.
WebProWord covers a wide range of topics. The biggest topics here are in the Search Engine talk and webmaster tools and programming tricks. They do have one affiliate marketing thread which is pretty popular. A good all around source.
Click Consultants is a very, simply clean forum that focuses primarily on affiliate marketing topics, and affiliate publisher information. Also has a "Learning Center" with affiliate resources available.

ExperienceAdvertising Forums is a small, basic forum that covers some general affiliate topics, SEO, and web design. There are only 8 categories available and a lot of the text on the site is red!
Forum for Webmasters is another small, simple forum that has 9 categories that relate to web design and web development. They offer a thread for website reviews, and two threads that relate to affiliate marketing, and making money online. Not a lot of activity, but worth a post or two.
The headline for their forum is simple: A meeting place for affiliates, merchants and the MoreNiche team. Honesty, transparency and effective communication between all parties. 4 Categories that keep it simple... General talk, affiliate talk, and link exchange requests.

HOME : African & Tribal Art : Nok, Katsina, Sokoto : Nok Terracotta Sculpture of a Woman
Nok Terracotta Sculpture of a Woman - DV.038
Origin: Northern Nigeria
Circa: 400 BC to 200 AD
Dimensions: 31" (78.7cm) high
Collection: African Art
Medium: Terracotta
Condition: Extra Fine
Place On Hold
Comparatively little is known of the Nok culture, which is defined largely on the basis of its superb terracotta artworks. Flourishing between 900 BC and 200 AD, the Nok style is in fact an agglomeration of similar traditions that flourished in western and central Nigeria. While there are different stylistic categories, these have little social significance as finds of in-situ Nok material culture are almost unheard-of. Stray archaeological discoveries have confirmed that the Nok culture is in fact a myth – the Nok is a tradition, a style of manufacture that was adopted by different Iron-Age agriculturally- based communities that in fact had widely varying cultures in all other respects. What does unite the trends, however, is a series of outstanding ceramic sculptures, which constitute the most sophisticated and formalised early African artistic tradition outside Egypt. It should be noted that the sophistication of these terracottas makes some scholars believe that they sprang from a hitherto undiscovered ceramic tradition. Technically, they are very unusual because of the manner in which coiled and subtractive sculpting methods were used to capture likenesses. Aesthetically, they are both naturalistic and expressionist, with highly distinctive elongated forms, triangular eyes, pierced pupils/nostrils and elaborate hairstyles. Substyles of the Nok tradition include the Classical Jemaa Style, the Katsina Ala Style (elongated heads) and the Sokoto Style (elongated monobrow foreheads, lending a severe expression to the face) and random variants such as the Herm Statues of Kuchamfa (simplified cylindrical figures topped with normal heads) and the "standard" three-dimensional standing figures, which subscribe to the Jemaa style. The function of the art is unclear, although the care with which they are executed has led some to claim they represent nobility, perhaps ancestors to which obeisance and sacrifices were offered. - (DV.038)

What are the values SAICA expects of its members?
What are the values SAICA…
Johannesburg, 07 August 2018 – Ongoing negative publicity regarding the accounting profession has many people asking whether accountants, and more specifically chartered accountants, are still behaving ethically. Michael Dorfan, Chairman of the SAICA Ethics Committee, outlines the values mentioned in the SAICA Code of Professional Conduct and looks at what SAICA is doing to ensure its members live up to these values.
Since the widespread reports of various chartered accountants' unethical behavior, it has become apparent to me that people want clear-cut, black and white rules instructing accountants on what is allowed and not allowed in professional relationships. They gasp at the concept of "professional judgement" as an allowance for members to justify unacceptable behavior. Make no mistake, the SAICA Code of Professional Conduct (the Code) does hold its membership to a very high standard of ethical conduct, and it is correct for it to do so.
The name "accountant" means a person who is held to account, a trusted individual, one who is expected to take responsibility and a leadership role in being accountable to those they serve. When accountants or auditors are acting in an assurance capacity they are not only serving the client, but are also often working in terms of a regulatory requirement for client audits of public interest entities; therefore serving those who rely on their good name and skill to ensure, for example, the annual financial statements are correctly stated in the opinion of the audit firm or assurance provider. This level of inferred trust is sacrosanct to our profession and must at all times be protected and preserved.
The Code is principles-based and it insists on the application of professional judgement when assessing risks to objectivity in appearance and mind and to avoid situations where the intent of a client in providing benefits to the professional gives rise to perceptions of or actual conflicts of interest. The Code requires that decisions should only be taken after applying the conceptual framework, which means that each member should assess the ethical risks before taking any actions and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, so that a reasonable and informed third party will be unable to accuse a member of breaching an ethical fundamental principle as explained by the Code.
The fundamental principles in the Code are as follows:
Integrity – to be straightforward and honest in all professional and business relationships
Objectivity – to not allow bias, conflict of interest or undue influence of others to override professional or business judgements
Professional competence and due care – to maintain professional knowledge and skill at the level required to ensure that a client receives competent professional services based on current developments in practice, legislation and techniques
Confidentiality – to respect the confidentiality of information acquired as a result of professional and business relationships
Professional behaviour – to comply with relevant laws and regulations and avoid any conduct that discredits the accountancy profession.
The Code further requires that the greater the public interest in the outcome of the accountant's or auditor's service, the more important the transparency around threats to independence, and an increased application of thought into judgements made will be demanded from the professional.
Therefore, not only is the Code based on the above mentioned principles, but those adhering to it also need to consider the reasonable and informed third party test when deciding on what to do.
A professional accountant acting in an audit capacity for example will always need to ensure that the client does not shower the accountant with expensive, lavish gifts or treatment beyond what would be the expected norm. The client may not pay for any of the accountant's or his/her close relatives' accommodation or other large expenses as this will create perceptions.
One should ask questions for example: could any behaviour or actions displayed infringe on perceived independence between the professional accountant and the client that might cause dismay if exposed publicly?
It is important to be open with those charged with governance, i.e. those representing the public interest, like the audit committee about any potential conflicts that may exist and that may impact outsider perceptions.
At all times the relationship between an auditor or assurance provider and the client must remain professional and never cross an important line where a reasonable and informed third party would be in a position to accuse the accountant of being compromised by having benefited unduly from the client.
Do chartered accountants still have values?
Looking at the number of SAICA members that were disciplined in the last few years, versus the total membership base, it is a small number, yet it is still a black mark on a white sheet. Those responsible for bringing our profession into disrepute need to be dealt with appropriately.
With close on 46 000 members, the ongoing scandals involving SAICA members has brought into focus the need to communicate how the Institute deals with those members who have breached the Code. As some changes have already been made in this regard, as we need to be open about how we deal with unethical behaviour and be seen to be adopting a zero tolerance approach to those who breach the Code.
In 2017, 229 complaints received against members and trainees were investigated. 109 were then cleared of any wrongdoing, 9 members were suspended for 6-12 months, 77 were fined, and two were excluded from SAICA membership. With regards to the remaining cases, members were either cautioned, reprimanded, or disqualified from applying for membership or associateship.
Based on the above statistics with 120 members and trainees being disciplined in 2017, and with 265 members currently in the disciplinary process pipeline, it is unfair to paint all chartered accountants with the same brush.
Some internal questions worth deliberating are possibly: What does the public expect in relation to what SAICA expects of its members? Is training in ethics up to scratch? Are we disciplining members that have breached the Code and ensuring they are appropriately dealt with in an efficient and transparent manner that the public trust in the profession is not being damaged? Are people aware there is a place where whistleblowers can make a complaint against an unethical SAICA member? Is the public informed about the robustness of our disciplinary processes?
In response to these questions, it is important to communicate that SAICA does regular training of members around ethical standards and the application of ethics. Newsletters and other resource tools are regularly issued to guide members on new standards and requirements. Members also have access to video recordings, webinars and information on the SAICA member website. The members making up the institute should play a role in exposing any bad behaviour of fellow CAs to ensure the institutional reputation is sustained and the public interest is always served in doing so.
SAICA also has its own disciplinary mailbox, discipline@saica.co.za which are monitored by the legal team.
The communications team also monitors the media for any exposure which might allude to the misconduct of members – these alleged incidents are shared with the legal team.
SAICA's formal complaints submission process allows the public or other CAs(SA) to submit confidential affidavits that address complaints against members accused of breaching the Code.
All complaints are referred to the legal team who will engage with complainants to clarify uncertainties or ambiguities. Members of the disciplinary panel remain anonymous to outsiders to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process.
Every complaint goes through a gather-and-collate-evidence phase and thereafter to the Professional Conduct Committee (PCC), an independent committee separate from SAICA for examination and analysis, and where found appropriate, a sanction is applied. If the complaint is complex and difficult to deal with, it flows up through to a Disciplinary Committee for examination.
SAICA undertakes to deal with each breach of the Code in a professional manner, ensuring that ethical professional conduct and the value of the CA(SA) designation are sustained.

New left fielder
By jonk Oct 16, 2006, 12:37am EDT
Share All sharing options for: New left fielder
As much as I have been a fan of Pat Burrell and stuck through his bad times, I think it is probably about time to get rid of the guy who killed us down the stretch last year (if we can). Yes, he put up good overall numbers, but there seems to be something missing in his game. I don't believe in intangibles, but I do believe that certain guys aren't cut out for certain situations. There is a guy that is available to the Phillies that they can play in left field over the utter disappointment that couldn't hit with runners in scoring position for August and September. I'll post their stats and you can decide for yourself.
Both players had VERY similar years.
Pat Burrell:
.258 BA .388 OBP .502 SLG .890 OPS
Replacement:
The replacement player put up similar rate stats, but hit for a higher average as Burrell, in his obvious wussified state, rather just walked. Ok, but how about the raw numbers?
29 HRs 80 Runs 95 RBIs 131 Ks 98 BBs in 462 ABs
32 Hrs 78 Runs 117 RBIs 160 Ks 99 BBs in 562 ABs
The replacement player put up similar numbers again, but many more RBIs. However, had Pat had as many ABs as the replacement player, he would have had 115 RBIs (and more of the other counting stats too). So, these two players look very similar still, but here is where we see a HUGE difference. The clutch factor.
Nobody on: .857 OPS
Runners on: .918 OPS
Scoring position: .722 OPS
Scoring Position and 2 outs: .619 OPS
Scoring position: 1.027 OPS
Scoring Position and 2 outs: 1.119 OPS
As you see, the replacement player SHINED with runners in scoring position and especially with 2 outs. While the overall numbers remained pretty much identical, I am SURE that if this replacement player played for the Phillies instead of Pat Burrell, you'd see an even MORE monster season. Right?
Wait...I just realized...that replacement player IS Pat Burrell. Pat Burrell from 2005! We DO in fact have that clutch player, don't we?
As much as Pat was clutch 2 years ago, he was just as unclutch this past year. What does that mean? I really don't know other than a homer with a man on first scores 2 runs just like a homer with a man on third. Could have Pat lost his edge? Sure. Anything is possible. It is much more likely that Pat just swung at the wrong pitches (or didn't swing at the right ones) in clutch situations more than he did the previous year. This appears to be exactly the case that the word ANOMOLY was created for.
Yes, Pat can be very frustrating, as can any player that fails with runners in scoring position. We want them all to score and when they don't, it is easy to pick on one target. I expect Pat bounces back to the mean next year, and if he does, he'll have a monster season.

George Osborne says "WE'RE STILL ALL IN THIS TOGETHER"
October 17, 2012 ·	by Cheltenham Against Cuts ·	in ConDem Watch	· Leave a comment
"WE'RE STILL ALL IN THIS TOGETHER"
George Osborne, announcing on 8 October 2012 that austerity will last until at least 2018
According to Gloucester's Tory MP, Richard Graham, failing to push through a radical revamp of the benefits system would be "too awful to consider". The Citizen reported that in a Common's speech on the subject, Graham "hailed the controversial shake-up a 'noble cause'. He claims the support of his constituents. The various attempts to demonise the jobless (especially the youth), the disabled, lone parents and migrant workers has borne fruit in some quarters. Talk about "scroungers", parasites, "people who think it is a lifestyle choice to sit on out-of-work benefit" (Osborne) is helping to fuel resentment and even hatred.
The government has repeated its determination to stamp out "welfare abuses", "get tough on welfare" and get people "back to work". Osborne said it can't be right that people in work earn less than those who are idle. But he doesn't mean the super-rich who can afford to retire at fifty, people like him or the rest of the Cabinet who inherit fortunes or make vast sums buying shares or cheap property – or any other spiv or speculator.
Many disabled people feel Labour set the ball rolling by its approach to assessing disabled people's ability to work. The last government's schemes aimed at reducing youth unemployment also left much to be desired and anyone expecting an improvement under Ed Miliband will be disappointed, One of his first speeches on becoming Labour leader affirmed "Labour – a party founded by hard working people for hard working people" would try to solve the problem of 'people on benefits who aren't bothering to work', adding: "We will be a party that rewards contribution, not worklessness."
All the mainstream political parties are shifting from the principles of the welfare state towards the concept of helping the deserving poor. This approach is reminiscent of Victorian attitudes towards the poor and vulnerable – CHARITY instead of RIGHTS.
So it should come as no surprise that party leaders at both the Labour and Tory Party conferences were talking about Britain being ONE NATION. But if you depend on a state pension, live on carers allowance, are disabled or receive only JSA to eke out an existence, this claim is hard to swallow – especially if you know that ten percent of the population own fifty percent of the wealth.

I DID JUST SEE MY FATHER RECENTLY. SADLY IT TOOK ME ALONG TIME TO FIND HIM BUT I DID. I AM NOT PERFECT AND HE IS NOT EITHER. BUT WE ARE FAMILY AND I STILL LOVE HIM. HE SEEMS TO BE DOING WELL, AND GIGI ALSO. I AM SORRY IF AT TIMES I AM RUDE OR HAVE AN ATTITUDE, BUT IT GETS KINDA OLD AFTER AWHILE WITH SAME OLD QUESTIONS. I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY ?S .
I AM ONLY HUMAN, BUT MY DAD ALSO LIKES RAP AND HIP HOP . I LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC ESPECIALLY MY DADS. SO ANYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ASK AWAY!!!!!!!
Wow. Hi, Jade. Welcome to our little board!
I think you'll find that we are very happy to hear you and your Dad have started patching things. We are all HUGE fans of your father on this board, and I'm sure we all wish you the best too.
For example: Jake E. Lee is the ONLY guitarist to whom I spend time listening or trying to analyze. I met your Dad when he played a show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, April 17, 1994, at a bar called Big Dog's. He gave me his autograph and two guitar picks. He also posed for a picture with me. It is the only time I have ever met a "celebrity" of any kind, and he was very cordial and extremely professional.
It's very cool of you to post! I hope you check back now and again! Take care!
Thank you for taking the time to stop by and say "HI"! It is awesome to hear from you!!!
I understand, (as we all do), about having fights with or being rude toward parents. We've all done it, we still do it, and we'll do it again. Whoever says they don't is a liar. I think I was a little rude to my Dad just this past weekend in fact. That doesn't mean that I don't love him, it just means that sometimes he gets on my nerves. We, as admirers and fans of your fathers talent and music, don't have the relationship that the two of you do as a father and daughter. So there is no need for you to appologize to us about a relationship with your parents.
Now what really does hurt is that he likes rap and hip-hop! Please... say it aint so!!!
Welcome to the board! It's good to hear that you and your dad got to reconnect. Jake has a lot of good fans that hang out here...glad to see you check in!
OK, so I see a new career for you as Jake's publicist? Maybe a new record with JayZ? A single with Lil' John? A book? A major motion picture? OK, we'll take an mp3 of him playing in his living room. We'll take anything! Viva La Jake!!!
As for questions - I have a simple one: as a child, did you get to see him perform? If so, do you have any memories of shows, etc that you would be willing to share?

Hi Jade. Nice of you to drop in. I'm not too familiar with rap, but I do love love Eminem and Kid Rock. Then again I'm all over the map when it comes to music--from the Bee Gees to James Brown to Megadeth.
I'm glad to hear you and your father have patched things up. I don't have any questions I can think of off-hand, I'm just happy to see you here. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Hi Jade - How is your daughter doing and did she get to spend time with her Granddad when you saw him recently? I have a 3 year old girl (she's half Japanese) and sadly, her granddad (my Dad) just passed away in May. Anyhow, I saw the first posts from you on here a while back about her birth and then the Myspace stuff and have always hoped that you and your family would find peace and happiness. It's certainly amazing the positive impact Jake's music has had on so many people and so I hope that comes back to you and your family tenfold.
Jade, I am glad all is well with you and your father. I too know how painful it can be to be at odds with family members. Good Luck and God Bless.
Location: West Springfield, Mass. U.S.A.
Thanks for the posting Jade. Good luck with your career and your beautiful daughter!
Welcome from a long time member, poster, and sometimes trouble maker . I don't have a question, just wanted to say hi.

The Skin Cancer Index: quality-of-life outcomes of treatments for nonmelanoma skin cancer
Nelson Sanchez, Jacob Griggs, Sonali Nanda, Rachel Fayne, David Castillo, Valeria De Bedout, Dan Meirson, Anna Nichols
Dermatology & Cutaneous Surgery
Introduction: Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common malignancies in humans. When treating NMSC, quality-of-life (QOL) is an important consideration. The purpose of this study was to measure and compare QOL outcomes of two common therapies for NMSC: Mohs micrographic surgery and excision, using a disease-specific QOL instrument, the Skin Cancer Index (SCI). Methods: The University of Miami Institutional Review Board approved this retrospective chart review of patients diagnosed with NMSC from 2016 through 2019 at a private dermatology clinic (Deerfield Beach, FL, USA). Disease-specific QOL before and after surgery was measured with the SCI. Results: Pre- and post-surgery surveys were completed by 208 patients undergoing Mohs surgery and 30 patients undergoing excisional surgery. All patients were similar in age, gender, and race, and most patients undergoing either procedure had a history of additional prior skin cancers. For the Mohs cohort, the total SCI scores and each of the subscales were significantly higher post-surgery when compared with the baseline scores. In contrast, in the excision cohort, the social subscale was significantly lower post-surgery when compared with the baseline scores. Conclusion: There is limited data in the literature describing the specific effects of Mohs or excision for NMSC on QOL using a disease-specific QOL instrument. Our data supports increased QOL at 2-week follow up for patients with NMSC treated with Mohs, but no improvement in QOL was noted for patients treated with excision. This data is limited by the fact there were far more patients that underwent Mohs as opposed to excision, which gave the Mohs cohort greater statistical power when analyzing the difference in SCI.

How marvelous is Cheryl Ross? Let me count the ways. With her combination of keen editorial and writing skills, her uncanny ability to make a voice accessible and articulate while keeping it authentic, her compassion, and her professionalism, Cheryl is the best friend any author could ever have.

—Marc Tedeschi, business development manager, inspHire, Inc., Texas, USA and United Kingdom

The Mets again did not back Jacob deGrom in a 5-0 loss to the Pirates. DeGrom allowed three runs in seven innings.
PITTSBURGH --Jacob deGrom's teammates may put their ace in a tough spot when the Cy Young Award is voted on in the final week of the season.
The Mets' bats again failed to support deGrom in a 5-0 loss to the Pirates on Saturday night. DeGrom, who allowed three runs in seven innings, is now 5-6 with a 1.82 ERA.
While deGrom's stats make him a leading candidate for the award, no starting pitcher has ever won the Cy Young with less than 13 wins.
"It definitely could cost him something," Mets manager Mickey Callaway said.
Wins are an outdated statistic and don't define a pitcher's work, but there is history working against deGrom when it comes to wins and the Cy Young Award. Felix Hernandez in 2010 is the only starter to win that few games in a full season.
DeGrom has roughly 11 starts left this season, and the Mets would have to reverse course and start winning his starts to give him a chance to reach that mark.
He only has one win in 12 starts since May 18, and is 1-6 with a 1.86 ERA in that time.
DeGrom has not thought of his Cy Young chances being affected by his record.
"I want to go out there and put up zeroes," deGrom said. "I wasn't able to do that tonight."
The righty could certainly set the new low mark for victories since he has an MLB-best ERA, but it could hurt him if Washington's Max Scherzer wins around 20 games. Scherzer has won the last two awards while winning 36 combined games.
Callaway does not believe wins reflect a pitcher's worth.
"Obviously they aren't indicative from what we've soon from Jacob and his performance this year," Callaway said.
While deGrom did not produce an excellent start Saturday, he certainly gave the Mets a chance to win had they produced offensively like they did in the four previous games.
The Mets (43-59) scored 28 runs in the four games leading into deGrom's start, and that splurge followed deGrom suffering the loss in Monday's 3-2 setback to the Padres.
DeGrom entered the game with the Mets scoring 3.63 runs in his start, well below the support the team's four other starters receive.
The Mets had multiple chances to give deGrom an early lead Saturday, but they went 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position and stranded eight men.
They failed to score after putting the first two on with no outs in the third in a scoreless game, and Devin Mesoraco hit into an inning-ending double play with the bases loaded in the fourth. The tying run was stranded at second base in the seventh inning.
"You want to score runs so bad for your teammate that you haven't been helping out that much," Callaway said of his team perhaps pressing when deGrom starts.
As the Mets wasted countless opportunities, the Pirates converted their opportunities against deGrom, finishing 3 for 7 with runners in scoring position against him.
A stolen base allowed the Pirates to get on the board in the sixth inning.
Colin Moran ripped a two-out RBI single to plate the game's first run in the sixth after Gregory Polanco stole second base, and the Pirates added two more in the seventh.
A pair of singles came before David Freese's RBI groundout, and Adam Frazier stroked an RBI double to right that just stayed fair and put the Pirates ahead 3-0.
DeGrom yielded eight hits and struck out five batters spanning 94 pitches.
"Felt good, but they did a good job," deGrom said. "They beat me tonight."
The Mets are a dismal 8-13 in games started by deGrom.

4 Reasons the Miami Marlins Are the Tackiest Team in Sports

Baseball season got underway recently, so mark your calendars for sometime in late September, when things will finally become worthy of your time and attention. In the meantime, have fun with us as we take a look at the newly redesigned Miami Marlins, whose transformation into the Don Johnson circa 1985 of Major League Baseball is finally complete.
They lost in their bid to lure Albert Pujols to town, but at least they've got animatronic fish and the guy from Creed to show for it.
Here are four reasons why the Miami Marlins are the tackiest franchise in sports.
The Team Colors
↓ Continue Reading Below
The team colors, when gathered loosely together, as they are in the above collection of jerseys, don't look particularly tacky. Every pro team these days has an inexplicably ugly uniform or two that they decide to wear at various points throughout the season. Why should the Marlins be any different?
But for some perspective, have a look at the team colors up close ...
"It's hard to take in that color scheme without being reminded of those classically tacky 'Greetings from Florida' postcards of days past," said a Cracked researcher who's way into design stuff so everyone thinks he's gay, but he's really not. And he's right:
Those are apparently also the colors that Springsteen uses to welcome you to his shitty hometown:
Alright, so maybe this is tacky in an awesome sort of way. It still counts, though. And there's nothing awesome about this next atrocity ...
The Home Run Celebration
What you're seeing in the above video is what happens every time the Marlins hit a home run. If for some reason you can't watch the video, just drink in this screenshot and imagine everything is flashing and moving:
You aren't imagining that the wall immediately behind that marvel of shitty decision-making is lime green. That's very real, and very tacky. The only thing missing from the stadium now is a metallic purple van with that very image airbrushed on the side to bring the relief pitchers into the game.
Fortunately, as a general rule the Marlins don't hit a lot of home runs, so the chances of this thing springing to life when you're close enough to be victimized by it are slim to none.
The Bobblehead Museum
Inside Marlins Park is a museum dedicated solely to bobble-head dolls. Your city has won two World Series titles, possesses a rich Cuban history and has been the setting of some pretty iconic films, and the best museum theme you can think of is bobble heads?
Aren't shrines like this normally built in a place that somehow relates to the history of the item? Like the Spam museum in Austin, Minnesota. That's where Hormel, the company that makes Spam, is headquartered. That makes as much sense as a Spam museum possibly can. But Miami was decades away from even having a MLB team back when baseball and bobble heads got married in the 1960s. Who died and made them the kings of creepy knickknacks?
The Guy from Creed Wrote a Song About Them
The Miami Marlins weren't exactly sending out press releases endorsing it as an officially sanctioned act, but nevertheless, at some point in 2010, Scott Stapp wrote a song for the Miami Marlins.
It's no surprise that the Marlins weren't too keen on claiming the tune as their own. It's pretty clear from the lyrics that these are the words of a man who couldn't give less of a shit about baseball. Instead of being a diehard fan, he seems more like a guy who just bought a big book of baseball terminology and built a few verses around it. Check out the opening line ...
"Let's play ball, it's game day/We want strikeouts, base hits, double plays"
Really? That's all you want to see? Strikeouts, double plays and slow dribbling singles into left field? That's going to be a shitty game, bud. What else do you have in mind?
"One strike, two strikes, swing away/A diving catch, a stolen base/A perfect game, a triple play"
Notice anything missing in that list? Right, not a single home run in the bunch. We'd say that leads us to believe that Scott Stapp had not caught wind of the masterwork of home run celebration design that the Marlins have since "upgraded" their stadium with, but we know that can't be the case. Where else would Scott Stapp have gotten the idea that a fish can soar?

Suspicions ConfirmedI always suspected that my wife had an occasional fling with someone on her ex's side. I had found cum in her pussy once after a visit. So when I told her to go ahead and attend a funeral, and that if she was invited out to dinner afterwards to go ahead, I felt I had a reasonable chance of finding out for sure.We had talked "dirty talk" about her being with other men for years. She was initially very excited by it, but then I made the mistake of adding shaming language, like whore, and slut, and slowly after about a year, she became less and less interested in even the fantasy. So this time, I promised myself, I'd play it cool.She came back from the funeral, and all she wanted to do was talk about her ex's family, how much the k**s had grown. We had made love two days before, nothing earth-shattering, and I was ready for whatever lay ahead."What did you have for dinner?" she asked. "Nothing", I replied. She told me had to go out for a while to go get some groceries, and it all seemed like a delay. I touched her pussy and said that I wanted this for my dinner.She laughed. "That's what you always say" and she pushed my hand away.We went out, I ended up with a simple dinner, and then it was time. We sleep naked, which is really convenient, but she sat on a chair, looking at her cell phone. More delay."How about we watch something?" she said. "After I take a shower". "Sure, no problem, I'll find something". bahis firmaları She showered, of course, and then we lay in bed, watching a documentary.After it ended, she turned to me, and we started kissing. I reached down and touched her pussy, rubbing the outside, and just a little in side, and then the clit. She moaned. "Get the vibrator" she demanded.So I obliged, and, standing by the side of the bed, stroking myself, I watched her play with her pussy. She likes to find just the right spot, and let it sit there. Moaning, she said "I feel like I want to suck something", which was unusual. Not that she doesn't suck my cock, mind you, but the wording was off, and she shook her open hand as she said it, like there was something she was diverting my attention from.I got on my knees, and put my cock near her mouth. What happened next was very unusual for her. She DEVOURED my cock. With the vibrator still in place, I felt my cock slip down her throat, and for the first time, ever, she grabbed my balls and shaft while sucking. She took me in hard, and, gagging, held me deep. Clearly, she wanted to force me to cum. And I nearly did. This went on for five minutes or so. She left go of the vibrator, and, now grabbing me with both hands, she doubled down, gagging more, and making the "gak-gak" sound. Nothing was going to stop me from cumming now, so when I couldn't resist, I pulled out."Nearly got me there" I said.I moved kaçak iddaa her around so her legs were open and she was on her back. "What are you doing?" she said, and without another word, I shoved my cock deep into her pussy. It was so wet – like a waterslide – no resistance. At all. She flinched, and pulled back. I pulled out half way, and went back in. She flinched again."I'm sore" she said.Sore? I had barely touched her for two days. But I knew why. I could feel the load of cum inside of her, coating her pussy, and now my cock, from whomever she had fucked early. She obviously had been fucked hard, too, because I know I had not left her that sore. And she was semi-loose, not tight. I would expect that she would have been tighter due to the intense vibrator use.I fucked her a while, slowing, cautiously. I didn't want to let on that I knew. I just did what I could to go in and out without hurting her. Still, I could tell – she was VERY sore.So I came.Then she said all I needed to hear:"Do you know what you get to do now, right?""What?" I asked."You get to eat ALL that cum, and clean my pussy of ALL of that cum".I knew what she meant – it wasn't just mine in there, and she wanted to tell me more, but could not.I didn't say a word, I just went down on her, and ate her out – licking as far in as I could. I was there for just what seemed like two minutes, and she said "Vibrator".I gave her the vibrator, and she applied it kaçak bahis to her special spot. I didn't want to let on I knew, I didn't want to repeat my mistake. This time, she was going to lead.She played a while, as I laid next to her. Then my cock swelled up, and I said to her "I have to eat the rest".She laid back, and dutifully opened her legs, and I dove in, face first. My lips, tongue, inside of my mouth were all covered in cum, and I stroked myself. Ready to fuck her again, I raised up to her, and entered.She flinched, so I said "Why are you so sore?""Because I wanted cock. And I wanted to fuck. And I got fucked. Hard. Really hard. I'm sore because I wanted that cock, and I took her. He fucked me good. He fucked me raw."Well, then. So I proceeded to pump, and she flinched, so I pulled out, and started to stroke myself. I had done it. I fucked her well-fucked, cum-filled pussy. She had done it, finally. She brought home cum to me."What are you doing?" she asked"I don't want to hurt you" I said. "Fuck me" she said. "Fuck me raw".So I did. She could not take it.So I stroked myself til I came, told her I loved her.I didn't ask about it, or mention it. I held her. "Are you ok?" she said."Yes, never better" I said. "Are you ok?"She nodded yes."Did you enjoy yourself?" she asked."I've never enjoyed myself more", I answered. "Did you enjoy yourself?""Never better" she quipped.And that was that. No slut-shaming, not calling her a whore, nothing. It is what it is.I can't wait for another chance for her to visit her ex's family. Or anyone with a cock, for that matter, as long as they are willing to fuck her raw and pump her full of cum.
