I'm actually quite appalled, there's something so sinister about this - the fact that people can re-invent themselves as online cartoon personas, and actually pay thousands of dollars (for real) for 'property' in this sordid, controlled fantasy world, while millions around the 'real world' can't even afford to live one life. I mean, it's so fucking barmy, I can't even get agitated or angry about it, I'm just 'what the...?'. Basically, you can't change your life, so you spend a load of cash on having a fake one online.
Myspace is one frequent target of criticism, and I'm not a big fan, but at least you don't get people 'living' on it....
Or am I just not down with the New Flesh?
