MTAA and Fame - addendum

I should also add that once your name makes it into our vernacular, your
fame takes on a snowballing effect. Even those who wouldn't otherwise care
to know who "MTAA" is, would be forced to learn it. It is like looking up a
word in dictionary. The need for communicating with others effectively takes
precedence over learning about an artist you personally like.

Instead of someone / something real being the scapegoat why not just
use Luther Blissett. Hes been around for a while and although doesn't
really exist (as far as I know) his/her spirit is in all of us.
