This is just a small post pointing out something that made me chuckle today:
I was reading American Gods, and there was a point where a Goddess named “Media” is introduced. She is described as “perfectly made-up, perfectly coiffed. She reminded him (the main character) of every newscaster he’d ever seen on morning television…”
Going to my favorite trend-aggregating website, I find a link to “15 of the hottest newswomen in America.”
What are the odds that as soon as I put down the book, a link like that was going to prove to be popular on the internet?
