The Search for Cecily

I failed to understand the drawing power of our own Cecily Tynan. She does the weather reports for our local ABC affiliate, and people seem fascinated with her. I don't have an official count, but I'd estimate that she is responsible for about 20% of the views on this silly blog. I also didn't understand the lengths to which people will search for info on their favorite celebrities.

For the record (as if there is one) I like Cecily - what's not to like? - and only mention her in my rants about the weather and the people who tell us about it because she is the most identifiable person on the top-rated newscast in Philadelphia. However, I can't help but wonder what the fascination is with her and her various articles of clothing.

Yesterday, a search popped up under "cecily tynan's panties", from someone in Hummelstown, PA (home of the figurine, no doubt). What it uncovered was the phrase: Two weeks from now, they'll be draped in lingerie and scanty panties. Although now, I'm sure I'll come up in a Cecily Tynan sucks" search. I was close on that one.

Then, also on the 4th, up came 7 searches from the same person. This one from, of all places, Atlanta, GA. I came up under the simple "cecily tynan" and the ridiculous "cecily sick mind". As far as I know, Cecily does not share my penchant for odd looks at humanity or even my politics, for that matter. Apparently, the searcher has been here before, knowing that the combo search would uncover something interesting, although not necessarily anything interesting about Cecily.

What really bugs me, though, is the wasted energy involved in the search for Cecily. The least they could do is wander over to Kate's blog and use her Google Box. Pennies go toward her twins quest for higher education, so at least this nonsense will serve some purpose, other than merely looking up Cecily's panties.

C'mon, you knew that joke was coming.
