Links to rot your brain

Since I didn't do anything interesting this weekend (self-imposed ...  i just wanted to lay on the couch, so I did -- except when I saw X-Men III and was neither totally dissapointed nor completely impressed)  I give you (from gray_ghost mostly):

Choosing an avatar is a moral choice (especially in WoW):  Ok, on this one, I happen to think the guy's full of shit, but hey, it made for an interesting read.  Interesting and annoying.

Digital Maoism: The Hazards of Online Collectivism:  Like anyone who's involved in fandom pursuits of any kind on line doesn't know this.  "'History has shown us again and again that a hive mind is a cruel idiot when it runs on autopilot."

Okay, darling, I tried reading the first one. I honestly did. All I can say is that it's very sad when you read an article about avatar-choosing and determine it's more pompous and pointless than a treatise from 1922 on the evils of women as portrayed by Euripides.

After laughing through the first 10 paragraphs or so, I had to give up because I got the hiccups.

LOL. Poor baby! You're right though, isn't the guy just too much to believe?

But at least I made you laugh, right?

You absolutely made me laugh! Of course, how could one not titter like a ninny when reading about a twit waxing on evil avatars? I haven't laughed so hard since I heard Paris Hilton's new song.
