Random Post

I know we are not supposed to post back to back so consider this one a freebie but I was going through some of the other blogs on the site using the "next blog" link and I came across the most interesting and diverse blogs. I know we did the exercise in class were we tried to find links between our blogs and others but this time around I was just being nosy so I got to look at the blogs differently. In four or five clicks I saw a postcard collection, a stupid american fansite, the growth and development of a handsome little boy, and much illegal activity promoted by a Hispanic gang. Only in the blogosphere would these people/things be lined up together. I would have to say the that most interesting ones were the one dedicated to the people who believe americans are stupid. It was a picture of the evolution on man that had man going from a ape to a pig over the course of five generations. I guess that would be poking fun of our domestic weight problem and obession with fast food. There was also pictures of people and their pets that were actually pretty fun especially one with this big buff guy holding a tiny little puppy. The whole site was in a differeent language so no telling what was really being said but the visuals said it all. There were also a lot of exclamation points. I guess to show passion.

Also the blog of the Hispanic gang was different. They had pictures of drugs and guns just posted on the net like it was legal, free, advertisment. I couldn't believe that they had that stuff up. It was pictures of people posing with guns, throwing up signs, and everything. What I couldn't understand was why would they have a blog? Real gangster wouldn't put their business out their like that. So that begs the question of whether or not that was a real gang blog. It was up to date but in Spanish so I wasn't sure what it said but it was interesting to say the least
