Month: October 2010

What is the most powerful influencer of our time? Some say God, but I simply remind them that God doesn’t twitter. Perez Hilton does. Am I saying that Perez Hilton is more powerful than God? No, but he is better dressed. And the last time a checked the Facebook he had more friends.
Is It just me or has the world become a little ridiculous with this social media craze. I think we can official say that there is something wrong in the world when we have almost 6 million people following the insignificant, life updates of a 16 year old man-boy.  And I don’t care how good his hair looks!
People are actually starting to measure “klout” the standard for someones online influence (http://klout.com/blog/) By analyzing “how conversations and content generate interest and engagement.” they can determine someones influence on social networking sites such as facebook. Pretty much a good measure of your influence on the internet community.
I’m not sure if I want to learn my “klout” I’ll probably just end up learning how insignificant I am in the word of the intranets. How unimportant anything I say actually is. How much nothing i say matters… But then again, even God doesn’t have any friends

McDonalds has changed. It is straying away from the young toddler generation of play forts and chairs shaped like french fries and into a more hip,  trendy local that appeals to an older more mature group of aging teens. It’s safe to say that McDonald’s (at least in western culture) has grown up. With the restaurants new trendy image it has ditched a long time company face, Ronald McDonald. A always happy clown that was uncomfortably friendly to little children.
My question is: Why did he have to go?
Is there no room in this trendy world for a simple clown? Why couldn’t they just have him wear  baller cap, give him some prescription-less glasses and have him cruise around the streets on a fixie-bike? And what happened to all his pals? I say give the hamburgler a tight fitting V-neck and we have ourselves a party.
I guess we can never go back to the way things were. Mostly because I heard that they renamed The French Fry Goblins “McChicken”.
It seems that McDonalds no-longer wants to see it’s costomers “Put a smile on”, Instead they’ll just remind us how much we love to eat their food. The more I hear the new slogan, the more it sounds like  “Cut the bullshit and buy yourself a Big Mac… Fatty”.
