Idol Chatter

By: The Incredible He-Hulk

“You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings.”
- Robert Walton in Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Frankenstein.

A journal is a record of ones personal thoughts; ones own, sometimes brutish, many times biased, opinions. Quite often, a blog is little more than that, despite the fact that it is for all to see, that it has been given over to the world for consumption. But, much like a gift is wrapped before it’s given to others, should one not burnish ones own opinions before presenting them to the world? Too often, it seems, a blog is created just for the owner and the owner alone, which makes on question the point of publishing it in the first place.

This is the question that occupies me when I view most H!P idol blogs. They are so often a disparate jumble of posts. All over the map ideas that aren’t really about much of anything:

“This just in: Ai’s so pretty.”

“Breaking news: Look at my new t-shirt and glow sticks I bought!”

“…PICSPAM!!!”

As far as Ai goes, truer words have never been uttered, but posts like these are really just so much doggerel.

These musings are the fires in which Idol Chatter was born. Idol Chatter is a blog that attempts to codify idol chat. To provide a standard for discussion that helps make “idolitry” even more fun and compelling by making H!P more interesting to talk about.

Truthfully, that’s a lot of pressure to put on just one man, and if it were up to me alone this site would quickly fall into desuetude. Luckily, one is never alone on this earth, or in his enjoyment of idols, and I’m getting more than a little help from my friends.

Because of all this help, Idol Chatter will become a swiftly flowing stream of idol information. Not only will get you get compelling discussion from a wide range of people, but you’ll get compelling information, too, and not simply information on new H!P releases, or appearance, dates and other things you can get anywhere. You’ll get translations of articles, interviews and radio shows that help you get closer look at your favorite idols. You’ll get an inside look at concerts, appearances and events from the very people who attend them to help you get closer to the actual idol culture. And, you’ll get analysis of H!P releases, what these releases say about H!P’s intentions for their idols and what the releases say about H!P’s past and the future.

So, it is with these assurances that I offer to you this blog. An amalgamation of so many; a walking, talking Frankenstein of idol opinion.
