...December 2006 report by Dutch think-tank EPN detailed the economics, rights, and well-being of users in Second Life. EPN wrote that “there is no solid middle class in Second Life. People are either ‘poor’ or they earn a lot.” A main cause of this is the ease with which users can pursue their self-interest and desires for profit. But what really unites these problems of profit and short-sighted decisions is a general lack of empathy. Users who pursue wealth at the cost of cooperation, teaching...
Imus was, somehow, the highbrow incarnation of what has come to be known as the “shock jock,” the radio host whose flimsy moral fiber and gleeful coprolalia earn him the respect and adulation of the common folk. It took a handful of references to Hillary Clinton as “Satan” and “that buck-toothed witch” (epithets people across the country invoke daily for no reward at all) to win him 1.6 million listeners a week and the sponsorship from Bigelow...

It seems likely Gray will maintain her fan base, though she won’t replicate the success she once knew...
...embarrassed to admit that it took Imus' saying something so devastatingly crass to make me realize that there just was no reason beyond ego to play along. I did the show almost solely to earn my media-elite merit badge. The sad truth is that unless you have a book to promote, there's often no other reason any writer or columnist has to do the show. If Rich wants to "talk in an informed way," I'm sure there's an open mike at C-Span Radio, and if there's really a hunger for such adult dialogue, does...
