Not to brag, but...
Technically, I'm more famous not only nationally famous, but also more famous "worldwide" or internationally than a whole shitload of less popular American TV personalities, purely because I'm a famous writer-artist-creator on the internet.
I'm one of the first people of a self-made generation of writers and artists in America with worldwide fame.
The "reason" for this international credibility and enhanced worldwide (and not just local or national) fame as a writer, commentator, and artist?
This shift from local and national issues in America to World issues in the last 10 or so years is made possible by the distribution power of the internet. In terms of international publication and distribution, the internet is more powerful, fast, influential, and impactful on international culture than even TV or film is in some instances. Traditional publishing and filmmaking has a worldwide audience, if there's a mainstream distributor, but it doesn't transmit things like what's being written by me right now) half as quickly as the internet does in the same amount of time 1,000 times over.
I like being a world famous artist and writer of the Web Generation of New Creative Talent 2.0. I'm the MAN in Asia, Europe, and South America. Name ONE minor TV personality who has this kind of influence and worldwide reach and brand status I do, just by doing this (uploading, publishing, writing, and drawing)...
