Is there anyone else out there who really wishes sometimes they could go inside the internet? Or pull the internet in around them, make it real in our world. I hate to be base or to seem like a pop culture critic, but it's getting kind of sexy in cyber space. sure, you still have the anybody can post attitude which keeps youtube looking more like the real world than a beer commercial ever will, but because of the way thumbnails work to drive up view count, again, we have the loudest and sexiest people rising to the top. Perhaps it's better to think of these free-form social networking and information sharing sites and not a reflection of America's body, but a reflection of american fantasy. At least on YouTube the truth is out there, but, as with the real world, the desired facts rise to the top and become, somehow, more real than the rest.
