    the prospect of a digital counterculture.

    I suspect it's both as it's been a few minutes now and still nearly nothing, even in troll land.

    I can spare the Karma and only posted FP because I couldn't believe it was staring me in the face.

    Really - I know there are a lot of people named Jones in North America, and a lot of them are probably mothers, but this sort of specificity in magazines is becoming ridiculous. It was bad enough with Spy magazine. And I can only assume The Onion has a sentient readership of zero.
