Within the infosphere I have noticed an elevated incidence of "Oz" and "Wizard of Oz" utterances since I posted that YouTube video of mine of "Return to Oz" by Scissor Sisters.
This by itself means nothing except that the music has entered the infosphere. What is important is that the propagation of the meme seems out of proportion to the number of times the video has been viewed. In the stats for my YouTube page, I see that it has been viewed four times. Most of the videos of my creation that I put in my show get viewed three to five times. I have far more than three to five audience members.
It's like there are one to five people who are responsible for copying my material and posting it onto other systems. I suspect that these videos get "ripped" and then reposted on some other communications system that is available only to journalists and government types.
I'm right, am I not?
If this is a game I will tell you that I do not especially care for it. Like I said, I deserve at least the respect of knowing who is in my audience. Because when you people finally decide to let me in on the secret, I will have long since gotten old and ugly and tired. And that will be the end of it. Too late. A missed opportunity.
I am already very tired and I have repeatedly asked you for a simple note that I can put on the nightstand. And not a single, solitary person in my audience will do this.
This is not a game that we should play. It exploits a particular weakness of mine in that I tend to overlook signals. The joke is always on me because things go right over my head. This game of yours amounts to trickery and I do not care to be tricked. It is disrepectful to me to carry on this game when I have explicitly asked that we not play it.
End your game because I refuse to play it.
