Okay, readers, I'll be honest: I stole this idea. Blatantly. From right here, in fact. But, just like Disney, I have no problem stealing an established idea, making it longer, and then mass-marketing it. Unlike Disney, I probably won't make money off of it. Nor am I going to make a repeated commentary about the expendability of mothers.
Anyway, I thought it would be fun to expand the video game theme into all of fiction and ponder what kinds of status we'd be getting from these heroes (and villains) of Movies, TV, and Literature. So here it goes.

Don Draper guesses you probably ignore the adds on the side of your facebook. They don't apply to you, right? They're just put there based on items in your "interests" lists. And the stuff in there isn't all true. But it -is- what you want other people to see, isn't it? It's who you want to be--how you want other people to see you. And those ads are based on your interests. Which means the easiest way to be that person is to click on the ad links on the side of your facebook. And don't you want to click? I think you do.

There you have it! And if you're wondering what Edgar Allan Poe's Myspace would have looked like, Cracked.com already has you covered.
BRILLIANT. Hamlet, Alex de Large and Atticus Finch are my favorites, but these are all hysterical.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, the Mad Men one is spot on.
ReplyDeleteI'm assuming you've already seen this one too?
