Shine's most popular posts of 2008

What do Sarah Palin, married men, and threesomes have in common? They all headline our most popular posts on Shine.

On Shine, we measure a post's popularity by its total number of comments. We wanted to find out which of our thousands of posts were the most popular, so we did some digging and came up with this top 10 list. The diversity surprised us - We knew our users loved to talk about sex, but who knew diet soda and bathing suits were also hot topics?!

Since this is really about user comments, I pulled a few favorites from our most popular post - "Question of the day: Would you stand by your man if he were busted with a prostitute?"

"yeah, I'd stand by him alright, WITH AN AXE!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Damn! Sounds like he might have had some fun and relaxation without me. Who could blame him for that since I certainly have my share of fun and relaxation without him. I'm not going to give him the boot nor will I go running off to a corner to cry. This new revelation could very well be our salvation."

"It is real simple to say no but if I was in love as much with my husband as I'm right now I'd at least give him the chance to explain himself. After our conversation, I would think about his explanation and I would go with my gut feeling (I would either be able to forgive him and trust him to not ever do it again, or I would send him packing. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, right? ;) )."

Check out the complete top 10 list here. I'm hoping one these will compel you to add a comment of your own.

    This Republican poster girl is no Oprah. Oprah deals with issues, Sarah Palin is comedy and shes not good at it either. A talkshow would be shortlived, people may watch initially to see what she's all about but she is too shallow to hold my interest.
