Scary Thought #1) Suan, Kerol, Lainie and gang in an MTV hip-hop video (with KY in full bling).

don’t need to go far and blame the media/entertainment industry, the same is happening in the internet & our blogsphere. same difference. blogs are “miniscule” model of the supply and demand of entertainment sources.

people have choices. people make choices.
bloggers have demonstrated the essence of how “sex sells” (even without earning any money) through camwhoring and the pervasiveness of pr0n online. tell me why some of our own blogger friends use pictures of themselves to skyrocket hits? or even become rumourmongers to get hits? same difference.
