Agreed, Daradon.

I am working on a website to sell crap that I actually make. To that end, I did some research about different forms of marketing.
In researching IM-related scams, I came across saltydroid.info. You might get a kick out of it.
His vision of us (I'd say it's mostly us down here) is pretty spot on. I think our whole culture (well, that's a bit hyperbolic I guess) is driven by celebrity and things that don't even exist in the "real" world.
I don't agree with everything he says, but his point that it's frightening that ... I don't even know what you'd call it... that modern life has become something incredibly twisted in ways of which these scams he exposes are only a symptom. I know that didn't make sense, but hey. It just upsets me!

I guess when power corrupts, it corrupts absolutely as they say...
