        Your persona is your personal “brand,” your representation of yourself within The Spectacle.

        The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.

        -Guy Debord

        Debord was right on, but I doubt even he predicted us mediating our own images, becoming increasingly directly part of The Spectacle.

        Full Disclosure: My real name is not Snot Flickerman.
