OMG Girlz Don't Exist On Teh Intarweb!
The Escapist has a brilliant article penned by a young woman who has to deal with blatant disbelief at her existence. Why? Because there are no women on the internet. From the article: "This is the story of my internet life. (I'm not quite sure if it's a good or bad thing that I have an internet life, but internet life it is.) I'm a girl, I play games and I exist on the internet. Or so you think. Time after time, I get told I'm not a girl and that I don't exist. It's happened so much that I'm beginning to think that it's true. So, I spend some time getting to know them. Who are these mysterious creatures called girls if they don't exist on the internet? What does this mean for the men of the internet?"
The great thing about the internet is that fugly or barely average girls like that can get an ego boost from all the drooling nerds, wheras in real life a girl like that wouldn't even be able to remotely compete with almost any random chick from a night club (or a Starbucks) for that matter.
...Zonk wouldn't exist on "teh intarweb."
