Wonderful

Chou's show beats the crap out of The View. She's concerned and sassy! More bunnies, always.

What cute rabbits. My husband loves rabbit. I stew the rabbit with tomato and onion and peppers. Yum.

Commodity "culture"

Goddam rabbits …

In 1992 the internet was an information superhighway.

By the end of the decade it had become (according to Bob Seidensticker of IBM, and MicroSoft) an "information landfill."

This skit is an example of the way it happened. I mean, Keen is "talking" to Virtual Rabbits in Hyperspace … and we're connected to it all via "Salon." So: of course it's a commodity. So is his critique … Buy the book and you'll have his commodity.

The most interesting part of this skit is how it shows Keen's case being made for him by the vacuous idiotic incoherence of Scoble. What a moron!
