Humans as collectibles

Ultimate digital edition. Or digital dumpster diving?

We are now on Facebook as Krautlandnewseditor. An algorithm suggested the upper case K.

Like us there, read us here.

We noted with the requisite smirk that entering a website on the admin page into the "Official Page:" text field gets us, can you guess, a blank text field a second later.

We have put ourselves out there on Facebook to contribute to an undertaking we would call "humans as collectibles, ultimate digital edition".

We are the beanie babies of the digital age.

We come into the world all new and shiny.

A few of us will be worth a fortune.

Others are abused from the get-go, roughed up,
used for target practice, torn to pieces,
put into an oven just to see if we burn.

Or zapped with radiation, or covered in maccaroni and cheese.

We dream of being Buzz Lightyear or Captain America.

And wake up in our box, next to each other, far apart.

We yearn to be out of the box, and are scared.

Once out, some damage is unavoidable.


Happy New Year!

[Update] Well, we got out of Facebook after a few weeks. Nothing useful  there.
