Web celeb
Anyone who spends time on the Web knows that there are some people fans call "Web celebs." Generally, these people have large followings and are considered celebrities by their faithful followers.
Little did I know that the vast majority of people have no idea who these so-called "Web Celebs" are and if you query your family and friends, they will look at you like your nose just fell off your face and landed in a platter of salmon.
My wife was probably the most hilarious of all respondents when I started talking about someone prominent on the Web while using the term "celebrity."
"Don, I hate to break it to you, but unless they are walking out of their homes and paparazzi are fighting to take pictures of them and they're featured almost daily on TMZ or Perez Hilton or they can't go anywhere without being asked to sign something by legions of fans, they're not celebrities," she says. "Do you want to know a celebrity? Robert DeNiro, Britney Spears, and Howard Stern. Carrot Top is a celebrity."
Yikes. And here I was thinking I actually knew something about pop culture.
