So there’s this girl, Magibon, on YouTube that has a huge following. She looks like a doll and she could either be 12 or 21. She has tits, so maybe she’s older than she looks. She doesn’t say much, just stares into the camera and emotes a creepy cuteness. Magibon shows us how the narcissist-voyeur paradigm has peaked and we are on our way to Hell in a hand basket, lovingly admiring ourselves as we nosedive into the ground. We are mesmerized by the visual sound bite we crave to be. It’s a sad, pathetic waste of time. Can’t we do better? But then, George W. Bush is one of the most powerful men in the world, so what do you expect? Bright people discussing important things? No, we get a cute doll that doesn’t say shit and we love to watch her. I don’t know, maybe I’ve got it all wrong and Magibon is a brilliant conceptual artist that’s on to something…
