Yeah, Teach, good question. What type of humor do we go to the Internet for? Perhaps it is personal story-type humor. Funny blogs. The out-of-nowhere zingers from Dooce, for example. Sure, you can get that from real people, but these are people/writers we don't have in our midst. Perhaps they offer us a different type of humor than our friends do. Friends in real life and friends on TV. We may pee from a good dose of Amy Sedaris on David Letterman or South Park, but we're not friends with Cartman. And we can't see him anytime we want. With blogs and such, we can visit and laugh (or pee) whenever we feel like it. It's an instantaneous good time.
Perhaps it's no longer: "For a good time, call..." but "For a good time, visit www...."
