_the new york times_ magazine has an enlightening, ultimately sad article
about the process of manufacturing a new pop star. you expect to find all
the industry clichés - the vacuous puppet-star and dodgy pop culture
references ("[jaws] is the perfect movie") and aren't disappointed, but it's
simultaneously more surreal and prosaic than i had expected. you feel kinda
bad for this malleable dimwit after seven pages... ah, humanity!
