BW's Blogspotting reports that a teenager had landed a podcast sponsorship. Emo Girl Talk and Nature's Cure, an acne preparation. Isn't that pretty much perfect?

I've been pumping my almost 17-year-old for info about emo kids because I'm an avocational group behavior scholar. According to my unobjective source, one of the things emo kids do is spew their angst on their blogs, which are almost always on the hosted blogging services that are popular with teens like Live Journal and Xanga.

I cross-examined Aaron to try to get to the bottom of why their blogging style makes him so angry, and we came up with something that makes sense in my own experience. He says they carry on as though they're writing in a private diary, knowing it's public, but pretending it's not.
