My site, Hot Chicago Teachers on Strike, was cut short
Friday when the Chicago Teachers Union came to terms with the city’s school
adminstrators. The strike is over after five days and so is the steady stream
of photos of attractive female teachers out picketing.
I hadn’t publicized the site, which was built on the Tumblr
blogging platform. Frankly I thought the strike would go on a little longer.
But after 26 posts, I pulled the plug on it.
It was my second attempt to create an Internet meme with
Tumblr. My first, Celebrities vs. the TSA, is still going strong, but isn’t a
break-out success. I just think it’s fun to needle the U.S. Transportation
Security Administration, a bloated, ineffectual agency that needs to be
reformed.
The truth is that creating an Internet meme takes
creativity, self-promotion, good timing and luck. It’s not easy, but maybe one
day I’ll find the right recipe.
Update (Sept. 16, 2012): The Chicago Teachers Union has decided to continue striking. So hopefully more photos of hot Chicago teachers on strike will be forthcoming.
