All y'all do realize ...
... that anyone actually paying attention to $GENERIC celebutard's twitting are massaging the ego of said celebutard, who in turn wouldn't give you the time of day if you passed them in the street. Likewise, if you are on $GENERIC celebutard's "friends" list, do you REALLY think that you'll be invited to their birthday party? Or even something as simple as a pint at your local?
I find the whole "social networking" phenomenon absolutely astonishing ... Are people really as shallow as it would appear? Or is it simply that in our modern society, we have so many toys that we've forgotten how to have a real life of our own, and are trying to live vicariously through others as a means of compensation?
