And Now, The Most Pointless List in Blogging History

I had an odd meta-realization about my blog today: I've created more labels (366) than posts (360) so far. Most of the labels are one-off jokes that will never be reused (almost 70% of the labels (247) have been single-use), but there are some that pop up again and again. Here are this blog's top twenty-five labels by frequency:

1. Manga (147)
2. Shopping (35)
3. Viz (29)
4. Bleach (22)
5. Marvel (19)
6. Reviews (19)
7. Bargains (15)
8. Dark Horse (15)
9. Superhero Comics (11)
10. CMX (10)
11. Fantasy Fanfic (10)
12. Crossovers I'd Like To See (9)
13. Takehiko Inoue (9)
14. Coupons (8)
15. DC (8)
16. Shojo WW Watch (8)
17. Slam Dunk (8)
18. Kazuo Umezu (7)
19. Kekkaishi (7)
20. Lists (7)
21. New Yorker (7)
22. Reading Diary (7)
23. Tintin Pantoja (7)
24. Tokyopop (7)
25. Sgt. Frog (6)

Are other bloggers this label-happy? Do others use labels in a similar punchline/annotation fashion? Are labels on this blog useful for readers? (I don't think I ever really click on the labels of blogs that I follow regularly, but I guess I have used labels on other blogs when I'm unfamiliar with them.)
