Hottest?
In the lecture today we discussed virtual poledancing and putting yourself "out there". I think this is an interresting site in light of that. It's Norwegian (cause that's were I'm from, so I know it from home) but you don't have to be able to read it to understand it.
The point is, the actual web-address deiligst.no translates to something like hottest.no and it's a "community" where you make a profile, with a nice/sexy/hot photo of yourself, and then other people give you a vote as to how nice/sexy/hot they think you are. If you are lucky (?) and get a high score, you get to be put on the "topplista", i.e the top list. If you click around a bit in the "topplista" on the right you'll see that the average age is about 14-18 years. And yes, a lot of the pictures contain not very mature boys with a bare chest or girls in their bra.
I wonder if their future bosses will hire them on the basis of what score they got?

And I just discovered you can actually download their pictures as PXTs...
Hey I'd just like to comment on your last statement/comment: "I wonder if their future bosses will hire them on the basis of what score they got?"
In relation to myspace, I heard on the radio that employers do look up your email address on myspace and look through your profile to determine whether or not to hire you. There was a case where they looked up a girl's profile on myspace, which contained her suicidal letters, and the employers decided not to hire her on that basis.
Does that mean you should just be wary of how much you actually reveal? How can you really 'secure' expressing yourself? I mean you want to tell the world who you are but then again you don't want to disadvantage yourself by doing so, such as the case mentioned above.

hmmm...I didn't think about that; but if you put a photo of yourself up, doesn't that mean you are attributing all these specific aspects about yourself(fake or real) to this image of yourself. Therefore making it appear real to the viewer and also making them believe it?
So if you have the nerve to put something fake about yourself next to an actual photo of yourself, doesn't that mean you are in essence trying to live up to these attributes, making them somewhat true?
I hope you see what I'm getting at...
