Sell Crap!


Part two of my tribute to Lore and his seven basic blog posts.

I just paid too much money for a few sheets of paper with a cheap soft cover. You should buy one too so you can be cool like other bloggers.

Bloggers are known for their ability to find a product and flog it like there is no tomorrow all while avoiding the uncomfortable truth that they are being paid on each and every sale and the item in question was given to them for free. It's the classic Judas kiss, where you trade your ethics for a bag of gadgets you don't need. It's all a part of their desire to be "citizen journalists" only instead of the traditional demarcation between news and commercial speech bloggers blend them seamlessly so you have no idea which is which any more.
