Palfrey's suicide notes: Modern-day lynching

traffic, THE OLD FASHIONED WAY.

(chatting with my sister)
gideon: maybe she's kind of a very self absorbed elitist artist type.
rollertrain: please tell me if i ever start acting like that
gideon: okay. stop putting your boobs on the internet.
rollertrain: why is it weird that i put my boobs online?
gideon: once, twice - not weird. all the time - begging for attention.
rollertrain: whatev. if i had a naked girl @ my disposal i would use her instead
gideon: great. put an ad on craigslist.
rollertrain: also, my pageviews explode any time i post anything naked
gideon: SHOCKING. it's a copout for traffic.
rollertrain: DUH. i'm an art student, i will take traffic any way i can get it. i thought posting the n-word was a lot crazier. sigh
gideon: those girls that tony always croons over on the busblog are worthless. all they do is put idiot myspace-staged photos of themselves in panties all over a website and call it a blog, and people FAWN over them like they're oprah winfrey. it's unreal. REAL feminists don't need to show themselves in their skivvies to make a point. i don't care how proud women are of their bodies - those girls are exploiting their bodies for power, and it is the exact opposite of using your intellect to prove you are worthy of attention.
rollertrain: i agree with parts of this. however, in defense of the naked internet, if you're not one of those girls (LIKE ME) and you post photos of your slowly aging nudity on the web, like when you're going in for a second mammogram, it's embarrassing, vulnerable and a little brave
gideon: you're not posting them because you're going in for a second mammogram.
rollertrain: that one, i did. absolutely.
gideon: yeah, that ONE. what about the other 12?
rollertrain: i can see how it might be really annoying to have a sister who constantly acts like an asshole on the web. sorry for that. but i yam what i yam.
gideon: yes. WE KNOW.
rollertrain: did you see my big project yet? the bees?
gideon: the american gothic painting?
rollertrain: si
gideon: yes. it's amazing. i especially like the fact that it doesn't have any boobs in it.
