Well, here's a thing.
Say you woke up this morning filled with the joys of spring and with a desperate urge to google on uptown girl snood factory. Go on, you know you want to.
What happens? Number two on google is my mate Mike at Troubled Diva... I'm guessing his eighties decade music piece covered Uptown Girl (the song), Factory Records and Nik Kershaw's snood.
Now, confused frummers all over Brooklyn will come across Mike's sardonic deconstruction of contemporary culture, with a Eurovision twist, when what they really want is a wig.
Priceless.
The story is that some Rabonim have banned the use of Asian hair for wigs (orthodox Jewish women cover their hair for modesty: only their husband sees it) because it may have been used in a pantheistic Hindu ceremony. The New York Times have an OK piece on it (login: sashablog/sashablog).
This is what's truly fabulous about the intwebhighway: the random collection of diffuse words, connected only through their tangential use creates more - meta - stories. Like now, I'll probably end up above the line on google for the same hit, and the whole of the frum world will think snoods have something to do with weblogging.
