Consumerism as Spectator Sport
If I didn't know the guys at stuffibought.com, I wouldn't believe it. But I do know them, and it's true-- they really do buy that much stuff. If you want to get into the game of oneupsmanship stuffibought.com is sure to inspire, you can register and submit your own purchases complete with written reviews, pictures, and audio commentary to persuade others. And like Digg, Flickr, etc., it has its own little networking system so you can keep track of what your friends are buying and enjoying (or hating). Just don't try to keep up with the Lin brothers. You can't. There is no way. Forget it already.
