As much as it’s going to hurt my pride when I check my blog traffic and there are no horse penis searches to boost my hits, I’m taking down the post with the picture of the horse wang in it. I think.
On one hand, it’s an old post that nobody reads anymore that still gets yields the majority of my daily traffic because it has a picture of a horse penis in it.
On the other hand, it’s a part of my blog. If I wrote a book that I decided needed a naked picture of Don Knotts and people kept buying the book for that one page, is it really my responsibility to rewrite the book and take it out because it’s making people buy it for the wrong reasons?
Who knows? It’s not really a good metaphor, because it implies that I get paid everytime someone visits my blog. If that were the case, you’d better believe that I’d be frontloading every single post with as many animal cocks as I possibly could.
I don’t know. I’ll sleep on it. The thought of removing the post, I mean. Not a horse cock.
As far as you know.

Since no one else has an opinion about it, I’ll tell you what I think:
You should either take it down or not. Let me explain:
All those people who come here because of the horse penis and stick around because they find out that your blog is hilarious… well, there wouldn’t be any more of those people if you took it down. I started reading here this way only it was pictures of DLR in my case.
On the other hand, knowing you, you’ll keep joking around about the horse penis for the next …20 years anyway and all new readers will wonder what the mysterious jokes are about because they’ll never have a chance to read that post if you take it down and I would feel so cool and like a real insider. Not really but you get my point.

You make a compelling case both ways. I’ll have to think about this some more.
