A Critical Ethnography of Social Media: Drekkktor Googlestein

 

In the beginning before he made his monstrous word flesh Drekkkter Googlestein turned on his drawstring lamp so that he could clearly see what he would need in order to make his golem flesh. He took 50,000 parts standard operating capitalist huckster, 10,000 parts Sergeant Schultz, 10,000 parts standard operating televangelist shyster, 10,000 parts of the always wearing the happy face Pollyanna, 7000 parts of the suede denim secret police, and .00001 parts Einstein and he created he, him, his logos, his hybrid monster made flesh. This messiah, this saviour, this bringer of the Irradiant Future Drekkktor Googlestein called ByobTube then strode over the face of the dark abyss that was Google Earth, the twelve millionth iteration of Eden, the twelve millionth version of a human made utopia. And the good authoritarian and autocratic Drekkktor pronounced it good, at least for his pocketbook and his spin doctored for the gullible masses public image.

Google...uber alles!
