On the Internet, Death's Recommended. And FUN!

When you visit GOOGLE or ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY or other sites, they want to let you know what you SHOULD be reading.

They know better than you do, what you like. You like death!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY recently told me that I'd really enjoy knowing that Zina Bethune died:

GOOGLE, of course, is even more enthusiastic. They were very happy that Richard Lynch died. They apparently recommended that he be taken off life support to hasten his demise. After all, if a guy isn't a blogger, or upping copyrighted movie clips to YouTube, Google considers this a non-person.

Websites are in the business of gathering enough information on you to decide what links you should be shown.

The Internet is changing the way we think, the way we live...and perhaps whether we live at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if Zina Bethune was using a Google map to locate the perfect location (for a car accident), or if someone replaced David Lynch's electrocardiagram with a laptop showing zany YouTube videos.
