The Miracle of advertising.

The internet and the advancements that lie therein constantly amaze me. The fact that any old average person can get online, make a blog or a journal, and by simply sharing their thoughts and opinions can make money amazes me. The fact that you can live in the middle of nowhere and have nothing in common with the people around you, and yet with the click of a mouse meet a multitude of people who are interested in the same activities as you. The internet can help you meet people who are interested in the same things as you, be that designer hats or jock straps. At the same time the internet can expose you to a wide variety of deviances that you would prefer not to be privy to. You could post a video of yourself, say complaining that people should leave a certain pop starlet alone, and end up getting to be on tv shows and making boohoos of money to be strange. Or you could post a blog entry about your boss being a bitch and then have someone show it to her so you loose your job.

Fickle and strange, it be here. Needless to say, if offered the chance to be an internet millionaire, I would not turn it down. For the fame may be momentary and meaningless, but the bloated bank account will last a good long time.
