Chocolate Chips in Your Internets

Now Serving Trader Joe's Assam Tea

"Dude...he's got cookies."
"Is that true?"
"Yeah, we've got cookies."

"...alright, I'm in."
It doesn't take much to make a man sell out. Ask Will Wright, creator of "The Sims." What started in satire ended with an in-game McDonald's ad and enough expansion packs to fill a bookcase. And "weaknesspays" is a SimCity 4 cheat code. Coincidence? I think not.

And look at me. I've plugged three products already (four if you count cookies) in the middle of the independent-expression blogosphere, like baking Chips Ahoy! chocolate chips into your internets. To be fair, one of them completely deserves the love, and the other two I dissed. But if negative publicity is still good publicity, there's going to be a lot of good publicity in this blog. And delicious tea.
