      <![CDATA[<p><strong>Phew!</strong> That was a long entry yesterday... but enough with the term paper on bioengineering. Let's see if we can find a fun, interesting site, shall we? Or how about merely <strong>creepy</strong>, as in this voyeuristic oddity, <a href="http://www.mydeardiary.com">My Dear Diary</a>, which shows once again that people will go to any length to draw attention to themselves.</p>
<p>As if the Jerry Springer Show's existence weren't proof enough of the concept, witness <strong>actual people</strong> writing their <strong>actual diaries</strong> on the world wide web. What possesses people to generate content for commercial companies without any desire for remuneration? Next thing you know, people will <strong>voluntarily wear advertising</strong> on their shirts, or baseball caps. Or maybe even get a company's logo tattooed on them.</p>
<p>Anyway, for a particularly horrendous display of bad poetry, courtesy of <strong>My Dear Diary</strong>, please see <a href="http://www.mydeardiary.com/cgi-bin/diary.cgi?page=16&amp;author=The_Vixen">this entry</a> by a woman who has chosen the nom de keyboarde of <strong>The Vixen</strong>. Ahem.</p>]]>
