‘Friday’ as radical text

A critique of Rebecca Black’s song Friday that interprets it as radical text. And makes logical, reasoned statement why the Usher look-alike is a paedophile-pimp.

..Ms. Black first appears as her own computer-generated outline: wobbly, marginal, a dislocated erasure. The days of the week flip by accompanied by dull obligations—“essay due”—and tired clichés—“Just another manic Monday…” Her non-being threatens to be consumed by this virtual litany of nothing at all until, at long last—Friday…

The best belly-ache inducing laughter I have had in a while. 😀

Well, that article, and Awkward Dancing Girl.

Dead blogs

I was pondering on how I rarely get time to blog these days despite having things to talk about. I mean, omg, there so many stories to tell that are languishing as half-finished drafts that I want to spit n’ polish before I publish them. (I have said that earlier, haven’t I.)

Then I scroll down to my blogroll and find many of the blogs of people I know (sometimes in a very loose sense ‘know’) are either deleted or dormant – sometimes without posting new content for months on end. I come close on full moon days at purging these blogs, then go back to my normal state of not bothering to because they are friends (sometimes in a Facebook sense of ‘friend’). All the cool kids seem to be getting tumblogs. I’m too comfortable with WordPress to bother.

Has Twitter reduced our attention spans? Is the blog bubble finally over? Don’t stay tuned to find out.
