What's this "we?"

BuzzMachine ... by Jeff Jarvis

Just now, I said to Michael Powell at lunch (more on that later) that what we really want to do is Google our lives.

This quote is what happens when you decide that glib is better than thoughtful. Plus, a) I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean, and b) it's not true. I for one don't want every aspect of my life - and I tend to mean all of my life when I say "my life," I'm funny that way - searchable. Then again, down here underneath the long tail, or as we sometimes like to call it, in the asshole, our lives may not even be considered Google-worthy.

Plus it's just further proof, populist yammering by highly paid media executives who don't seem to ever actually be working aside, that the A-list is completely about the starfucking. Note that 12-ton namedrop there at the beginning of the sentence. It's all about the egoboo, kids, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Comments

I love you! And I wish you posted more often, so I could enjoy your rather effortless ego-balloon-popping posts.

Not that I am one who likes to dictate how often people have to post, nor the length of their posts, nor how many links they include in every post, let alone self-referential and self-reverential name drops.
