The (Non) Issues | Metafilter: "n China, Bill Gates is Britney Spears. In America, Britney Spears is Britney Spears.

what an apt comparison. spears is a PR creation, her products are crap, and people are under the mistaken impression that she's a vocalist, when in reality she's all artifice and lip-synch. gates is a product of marketing, his products are crap, and people are under the mistaken notion that he's a technologist, when in reality he's just a scruple-free robber baron.
