Current Doctor Who Warns Against Facebook

judgecorp writes "Matt Smith, the current actor playing Doctor Who, doesn't use Facebook or Twitter, despite his geek icon status. He worries that social media encourages us to create "surrogate versions" or "celebrity versions" of ourselves. He also, arguably, doesn't need their help, being a celebrity already. Smith made the comments in St Petersburg, where he hosted the final of Microsoft's Imagine Cup for student inventors, won this year by a British team with a mesh music-playing application."

    ah, thank goodness.....

    I was about to rant about them calling him "Doctor Who" rather than The Doctor. But now I know how *YOU* call him, everything is alright.

    To me, leftist politics ruined the last two seasons of Dr. Who. The utterly unnecessary multiple militant homosexual and cross species relationships and homosexual characters ruined it for me.
