High Times Meets The My Space Generation

A shout out to cityrag for this one....Which proves, once again, that the Internet is, first and foremost, about photos of hot girls doing, well, just about anything. In this case, it's smoking pot. Yes, the soon-to-launch Girls Gone Weed will feature, we're left to assume, hot girls smoking weed (and when we say "left to assume" we really mean that the My Space makes it pretty clear that this is the premise, though the blog explaining the origins does seem to suggest some deeper sense of ethos). Hey, it's a better business model than almost any Internet venture Time Inc. has launched.

Started by a 26 year old "motivated stoner," GirlsGoneWeed.Com seems to be a multimedia enterprise: The My Space page has promos for both a dvd and volume one of "Beats from the Bong," which would seem to be a stoner compilation of some kind or another. Hopefully, it'll be light on the Floyd and the Cypress Hill, since NORML already has a couple "hempilation" mixes of its own out there (though, of course, it's likely that any purchasers of the latter will have forgotten they own it).

In a way, all of this makes perfect sense, since the original computer scientists who invented what eventually become the "Internet" where a supersmart strain of acid/pot heads who happened to be in grad school in California in the late 60s and early 70s, and then had all their ideas stolen by corporations.
