The Illuminated Donkey

In solidarity with the recent statement by Jamie Kellner, Chairman and CEO of Turner Broadcasting System, that TV viewers have a "contract with the network" and when they "skip a commercial...[they're]...actually stealing the programming" and The Dallas Morning News' current battles against deep-linking, the executive management of Illuminated Donkey Media has instituted some changes to the implied contract between The Donk and you, our loyal readers:

• If you are a fellow blog publisher, you will no longer be able to post directly to individual posts, but can only link to the main page. Often readers who reach The Donk in "the middle of the story" miss out on important posts that could help further their understanding of the issues. For example, a reader who goes directly to my whining about my stat counter resetting post below would miss out on the funny picture of Jesus shooting hoops.
• Despite the convenient nature of the permalinks at left, you will no longer be allowed to click on them, but must rather contact me with the name of the blog you wish to visit, after which I will respond ASAP with a brief, pithy summary of that blog.
• You will no longer be allowed to e-mail me directly, but will instead have to send all correspondence to my mom (thedonkmom@hotmail.com) who will screen all of my mail.
• You can only view The Donk by poking a hole in a cardboard tube and looking at the projection.

It may seem complicated, but by following the above simple rules you can avoid becoming the scum-sucking content thieves you so desperately long to be.
