Claire Suddath’s article on 25 Things I Didn’t Want to Know About You, as I mentioned in a previous post, was satirizing the ridiculousness of the 25 Things Facebook trend. Rather than driving sense into people and the trend into oblivion, Suddath most likely raised its profile – indeed, someone actually found my blog from a Google search for “claire suddath 25.
It reminds me of the time a hostage’s life was being determined based on the amount of website traffic. I forget the exact details, or whether the story was even true, but the victim’s survival basically depended on people not visiting a certain website.
What happens next? Of course, the story is all over the TV and popular news channels. Poor guy, I hope it was a false story. Shame on you, journalists who report on something bad only to raise your own profiles!
