I know it's cliched and trite at this point, but I have trouble expressing just how disturbing Michael Jackson is. For god's sake, look at that mugshoot! I think he is evolving into some kind of reptile. Those are nictitating membranes, I swear. He has obviously gone through the cosmetic surgery equivalent of cyber-psychosis. Lost too much humanity and gone completely NPC. And he didn't even get a powered exoskeleton or augmented reflexes in return.

Another great SF idea ruined by reality. The singularity isn't going to be about people pioneering radical news ways of being. It won't be about escaping the prison of the flesh or even about being violently replaced by a superior mechanical race. It is going to be about has-been, self-absorbed pop stars who have the money and ego to live forever at any cost. This is what people want to use technology for. The change won't happen overnight, but some day we're going to wake up and realize that we have all become just like Michael Jackson.

Honey,

Don't ever do that again. When I went to my friends page and and saw that picture I nearly fell off my chair.
