THE NET JUNKIE PRIMER
Lesson Three

Okay little net junkie...now it's time for a test. You see that picture to the left? That is a picture of you on a date. One of those two objects is a girl and the other object is a stump. Can you tell which one is the girl?
Yes, I thought you could. I see you've been studying up at the Playboy (Open Your Mind) site. The only difference between those girls and real girls is that real girls almost always have clothes on.
The reason you are a stump is that you spend all your time in front of a computer monitor and never have any real dates. All the girls you know are on IRC and newsgroups.
Have you ever noticed when you downloaded a picture of those girls you talk to on IRC, that they don't look anything like the girls on the Playboy (Open Your Mind) site? That's because the girls you talk to on IRC are real girls. They come in all shapes and sizes. They are skinny and fat and pretty and ugly and everything in between. Have you ever noticed that some of the sexiest girls on the net are not all that sexy to look at? That's because having a sexy mind and a sexy body don't always go together.
You see little net junkie...those girls on Playboy's (Open Your Mind) site aren't real girls. They are graphics from the imaginations of teenage artists hopped up on Corel and Adobe software. There are no girls like that in real life...and even if there were, they'd never go out with you. You never dress up and try to look nice. You body is an obscene wreck and you have the social skills of a rutting baboon.
I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Some people fall in love and walk hand in hand on the beach. Some people go to dances and movies and fancy restaurants. Some people sit on park benches with their arms around each other and watch the sunset...
...but not you little net junkie...oh no, not you.
