More Newage Sewage

This steaming pile of trendy crap, a newsletter for the 'consciously chic' came to my email address at the church. How tacky. The email was so awful that I had to go to the site, to see if I had somehow misinterepreted the nature of the thing being advertised. Mais non. It didn't change its story even when I gave it the chance to.

I felt dirty. You probably will too. I mean, on the one hand, it's nice that being vaguely attentive to the environment and spirituality is popular, but on the other hand, if you were in any way "conscious", I think you'd realize that "chic" is pretty much a racket.

EDIT: Bonus points: there's a "consciousness quiz" on the site, which purports to test your knowledge on matters environmental and spiritual. If you score too highly, i.e. you know too many answers, the magazine offers to 'reel you in and infuse you with a sense of style'. Gak.

Just because I get breast implant spam doesn't make me the breast implant demographic.

But it does put you on a list where someone, somewhere assumes that you will be shopping for them for you or a loved one. 8-) If we're going to be hunting down demographics, they're the ones with the lists. 8-)

Didn't even come to my address. It came to finance-at-gaiacommunity. Do you suppose that they also think that orcjohn is that demographic? Because, I mean ... dude.
