something that I gave up doing after I found out the Monkees weren't really the Monkees.
*rof!!* It was the beginning of the end right there. I remember watching a documentary a long time ago on that whole phenomenon, marked as the start of a new era in television marketing. And the rest is history.
I think the internet has made it much, much easier for people to congregate, feed off each other and act stupid. But the internet is also the best of tools to smack someone upside the head once in a while, or a collective when they've wholesale coordinated to carelessly ruin it for a majority of fans.
There simply is nothing like fandom. I'm holding on to it.
