[edit] Notes
1The internets tube itself, however, is real.[1]

1Reality is a commodity.[1]
[edit] Notes
1What's a commodity? Something which can be bought and sold. Something produced for consumption.[1]
[edit] Notes
1Karl Marx, who was an insane, ungodly communist, described the way that capitalism produces "commodities" as "fetishes."[1]
[edit] Notes
1A fetish is an object in which "magical" - one might even say "virtual" - powers are thought to reside. In Marx's view, we invest "stuff" with power, meaning - almost as though we're living through our relations to things.[1]
[edit] Notes
1I'm gonna play some Sims and listen to my iPod and pretend that you never told me any of this fucked up shit now, okay?[1]
[edit] Notes
1By "I", I mean your computer. You don't exist, remember? Neither do "I," really. We're both the figment of some kid's jolted-up imagination virtually reading this virtual posting of virtual truthiness on a real internets tube.
