Anyway.

That is the joy of this story. Everyone discussing why it was accepted at face value by everyone who did. A media ouroboros. Awesome.

By the way, you all coined "sock" long before some movie maker coined "catfish" for "someone who pretends to be someone else on the internet." and "sock" makes more sense. how did we ever drop the ball on pushing that mainstream? I thought Paigow said the legit media was reading and stealing her every idea?

I'd like to think we were that creative, but sockpuppet existed long before even the original Greedy Associates. |

Sad and pathetic and really fucking hot can co-exist. If not, which cancels the other out?

I do. She does stuff with the website and a couple of apps, so I don't know how close she is to direct contract with Oprah, but she's been there since the launch of the network, I think.
