Maybe I'm wrong, but I think it's the way her life is built around buzzwords, brands and hopeless consumerism.


It's not her life. It's her life through a marketer's lense, or to make it even more precise: It's the kind of life a marketeer is trying to 'sell' to his clients :-)

I woke up this morning at 7 am. I made breakfast using fruits shopped from the local super market. My tendency for fruits shoes that if I had a change to get fresh ones, I would probably pay more for them.

Then I started studying on my macbook air. Using my iPad now and then.

At 12:00 I went at the university near my house, to eat because the meal there is healthy and extremely cheap even compared to fast foods. I'm probably poor but then again I order expensive food every weekend on-line spending at once what I'd spend in a week eating at my university. When the university is closed and I have no other option so it's probably a choice that could be 'channeled' somehow.

At 17:00 I went for a run wearing an iPhone, a pair o nikes and an old shirt. I probably will need a new shirt soon.

I talked to my girlfriend via skype and then continue studying until 21:00 on my computer. Then I started browsing computer related websites and a couple of mailing lists. I'm interested in programming, politics and sports. I twitted, I don't have a facebook account. A quick look at my blog will show that online privacy matters to me.

Late at night I downloaded a book on iPad and started reading for 45 minutes before finally sleeping at 00:15

... That's not my life :-)


I'm not sure, I got the same feeling from the other profiles.


That's because the vast majority of "western civilization" (and not only) revolves around marketing lies.

We're all living in Amerika.


Ist wunderbar!
