Month: November 2006

I like cruis­ing down the dirt roads of the inter­net to see what pops up. Dead sites, delet­ed threads, ran­dom things from the Inter­net Archive and some­how by doing this I end­ed up on a zed-list celebri­ty gos­sip site that had paparazzi pic­tures of Brit­ney Spears no-no spot. In an inter­est­ing bifur­ca­tion of thought I clicked on the link. I did­n’t real­ly want to see it, but I was inter­est­ed in what all the fuss was about. It looked like any oth­er no-no spot. What was more inter­est­ing to me was the c‑section scar.

In any case, there is this preva­lent fas­ci­na­tion with what cer­tain celebri­ties look like with the wrinkly bits vis­i­ble. Almost as if, since they have celebri­ty, their junk must look or some­how be bet­ter than some­one elses. It is self-con­scious­ly chuck­le-dumb. Every­body has the same bits, more or less, so pay­ing atten­tion to per­son­al­i­ty, focus and wis­dom should be the main swing of things. Except it’s eas­i­er to let the lizard hind-brain do the think­ing, espe­cial­ly when teh inter­nets are involved.
