Slog - Comments on America Has Spoken: "ugly face/nice body" http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/america_has_spoken_ugly_facenice_body Holy God Jesus on a pogo stick. Playboy is accepting auditions for their newest playmate on YouTube. 52 women have replied (so far.) This is one of the most depressing YouTube pages I think I've ever seen, not just for the videos--where women around the country are trying to make themselves into Playboy-style fantasies --but the comments on the videos are what make me sick: your not going tow in because you like the cowboys.

Will, did we ever think the day would come? I think people are actually reading it for the articles.

Yes, comments sections of youtube, or AOL news pages, frighten the hell out of me. It's the scary side of "democratic with a small d." OTOH, it makes me more impressed by wikipedia's quality. Some things on the 'net get better with time, other places are just rooms of people shouting at/past each other.

Maybe slog is, too, but it's my kinda folks. : )
