can someone explain to me why betty white is super popular all the sudden? is it the cute, nostalgia, ironic thing going on, like when girls go to new kids on the block concert and stuff? or is it legit?
Somebody started a petition on facebook to have her host SNL, the next thing you know MILLIONS of people signed up and she got the gig. Since it's out that people apparently love her, everybody wants a slice of that dish.
Here's the most fascinating thing about it. If facebook were a nation it would be the 4th largest nation in the world. Imagine, if all of those people got together for MEANINGFUL things. Things that decide how we exist as a species. Imagine if all of those people from all around the world decided to agree that there should never be anymore children going hungry in the world. Then let's say this global power of popular opinion actually effected world leaders decisions, and all of the world leaders decided to band together to fix this problem. Not because they are forced too from some stupid convention, but because they can all agree on something as being bad, and correctable. Not at a snap of a finger mind you, but got them all to sit down together and just, talk about saving kids from starvation all over the world. The first step...the first tiny step towards world peace...Something so simple as a right click gets the ball rolling on something so important, that could lead to the end of genocide and terrorism.
Man, this planet is going to be a fucking awesome place to live someday. Maybe in another hundred years, every person will have a voice that is heard.
