Google Body: Denouement
 |
Awww, crap. It has come to my attention that the Google Body story from wired.com may really be made up... I already knew I hated certain Philadelphia bloggers. I’m ready to expand my hatred to wired.com bloggers. Suck it Bruce Sterling.
Hey, hey. Hate me, sure -- unless Masterson's referring to Dan Rubin -- but wired.com's Google Body blog entry was dated the year 2022 and featured quotes like "You know what the top two search terms are, after 'ass'? They're 'aorta' and 'arterial plaque.'" Hating Bruce Sterling for thinking that entry is real is like hating a stop sign because it doesn't turn green and tell you to go.
But I really enjoy the comments of another apparent NBC 10 staffer, PSUPhilly22, who states the following:
Look, if Philly and wired.com bloggers can giggle at the joke, then clearly - mission accomplished. remember, these people don't get out much anyways - they have to do what they can for entertainment. as for the story being made up, it'd be funny if it was about a joke or something, not about a computer program. it's like trying to joke about HTML coding - it'd be more fun to hit your hand with a hammer repeatedly.
Well, I'll agree that the Google Body entry wasn't funny, but it certainly spawned some hilarity. And HTML jokes are awesome. Haven't you ever seen my page trying to validate? And remember when I left that </strike> tag open and the entire page was crossed out? Ha!

Looks like she mightn't have been the only CFL with a faulty ballast. The entry's been updated to explicitly note it's parody-ness.
The best part at DigPhilly was the comment exchange over the implementation details of the opt-out headbands. Those ppl should be SEPTA management for sure.
