Google Perplex

The Boston Globe ran an interesting article Sunday on how Google has altered our social interactions.

A sample: Her date admitted to Googling before all first dates but said he had good reason. Once, when he delayed his search until after the date, he stumbled onto an obscure portion of an out-of-the-way Web site where the woman he had just dined with was mentioned. "That's how he learned she had been a he," Leger says.

[Via Gene Healy, who comments, "If you're worried about your life being all over the web for anyone to see, don't write anything, and never--never--date a girl with a blog."]

"And never--never--date a girl with a blog."

Not that you'll really get the chance. Many are a tad too flaky--and too busy googling themselves-to go out.

Hang on, you two. I smell a screenplay.

And never, ever go out with Jackie Kim.

I don't need my blog to chase tail. I've got my own little bushy one to chase around in circles like the dog I am. Oh, you meant women? Don't need my blog to get them either.

Hasn't someone made this movie already?

What? A man shamelessly using the internet to get some poontang? Unthinkable! "Inconcievable!" Men would never be so shameless as to use any trick in the book to get some. Never, never, never.....
