The Democratization of the Internet

When I first heard about Quarterlife, the new MySpaceTV series coming in November, I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. Why should I think a television show about individuals in their twenties necessarily be about skinny, pretty, whiny white Americans who don't really have anything to say about anything?

If only my cynicism could be proven wrong once. To be fair, I think I saw one black guy in the trailer. The peeps at Defamer had some humorous comments about this groundbreaking series as well.

For more thoughts on representation on and off the interwebs, I direct you to a poignant article about this summer's Yearly Kos convention: Radical Knowledge: Where are all the bloggers of color?, by Brownfemipower, on Zuky, found via Feministe.

Happy Friday!
