  Virtual Sherpa
Heidi Klum has become a McHottie, and I'm dissapointed with this newzoid. The ointment on my gloom is a fairly slick and funny essay-cum-quiz called "Virtual Sherpa®: Your Guide to the Right Career in the High-Tech Workplace of Tomorrow." -

We live in an era that was compelled to invent the term "dizzying array." Do you think your great-grandparents ever witnessed a dizzying array of anything? Heck, friend, our ancestors were lucky to see an array in their lifetimes. An array, now that was big news. They'd all stop churning the butter or tilling the fields and come gaze at the array. It was like a solar eclipse or a comet. And then, once they had gotten a good look at the array, they trudged back, exhilarated but not at all dizzy, to those jobs they did not choose.

Notice McSweeney's current caption, very cool - "Blind Bastard Child Will Be President Someday".
 
Comments:
o-hoy sherpa - from maggie watshername to heidi klum, u've come a long way. don't be overtly disappointed - it's all a part of the array of stuff dat we are so priviledged to c, over our grandpappies! ;-) win some, lose some, and if any fat+dumb Americans actually believe they'll get like Klum after MacD's, then they deserve to ADD some (pounds, kilos, whatever!).
