This song was inevitable but telling. In a not so distant future, we’ll create the means to interact with a fake version of ourselves. And that version will be, in the words of the video, “hotter than reality by far.” It reveals the willingness to live in a collective delusion that only a fake persona, one we create, will be good enough.
The desire to date what is fake reveals the underlying tension we have with our own selves. We’re so good at assuming people won’t like us, when everyone around us is making the same assumption. The collective downward spiral creates the the conflict that only love can truly address.
What is ironic is that in our delusion, we’re always better than what we “think” we are, which leads to the underlying question if our own bodies are secretly calling us out. Have they in some way abandoned our delusion and latched onto the good that God originally created?

LYRICS
Hang with me in my MMO
So many places we can go
You’ll never see my actual face
Our love, our love will be in a virtual space
I’m craving to emote with you
So many animations I can do
Be anything you want me to be
Come on, come on, share a potion with me
CHORUS:
Do you wanna date my Avatar
She’s a star
And she’s hotter than reality by far
Wanna date my Avatar?
You can type commands
I’ve got slots for what I hold in my hands
Don’t care what’s in your character bank
How ‘bout, How ‘bout a little tank and spank
Grab your mouse and stroke the keys
In cyberspace there’s no disease
Pick a time, send a tell to me
Just pay, just pay a small subscription fee
CHORUS
Single white human,
Looking for group
My stats so high
Don’t be out of the loop
Got an uber-leet staff
That you can equip
Close your mouths ladies
This is pure nerd-nip
I’m a pixel-based fantasy
A man who is stoic
I hack and slash
Who the heck’s more heroic?
Check me out:
Cloth armor
Fits me like a glove
Just twitta a time
And I’m ready for love
Hang with me in my MMO
So many places we can go
I’m better than a real world quest
You’ll touch, my plus 5 to dexterity vest
What role do you wanna play
I’m just a click away night or day
And if you think I’m not the one
Log off, Log off and we’ll be done
