CLICHES ARE THE NEW CLICHE

Saw this headline over at the always fabulous Wonkette:

Very cute. But also very over-used as a cliche (hence the name), if my Google searching is any indication. The best part: very seldom is the comparison actually true:

Fake is the new real.

Small is the new big.

Apple is the new Microsoft.

Awake is the new sleep.

Google is the new Yahoo.

Orange is the new black.

The actual is the new virtual.

Morality is the new race.

Why 40 is the new 30.

Simple is the new black.

Hate is the new love.

Porn is the new crack.

Nonsense is the new sense.

Capitalism is the new Comunism (Wonkette again...)

Small is the new big.

Quiet is the new loud.

Conversion is the new acquisition.

Mental illness is the new normal.

Glam is the new metal.

The threat of terrorism is the new Red Scare. (People in London today might not agree.)

Clarendon is the new Helvetica.

Podcasting is the new Napster.

Knitting is the new rock 'n' roll.

Green is the new black.

Small is the new big.

Spam is the new Amway.

Vegan is the new black.

Baltimore House Music is the new Dylan.

October is the new June.

Love is the new hate.

Bono is the new Pope.

The Drug War is the new Jim Crow.

Fat is the new thin.

Real estate is the new dot-com.

Movie piracy is the new Plague.

Poverty is the new slavery.

Natasha Lyonne is the new Courtney Love. (From Wonkette's cousin Gawker)

Fark is the new Slashdot.

Awkward is the new black.

Twelve is the new zero.

If you own a truck and you're looking to buy some accessories, such as side steps or new nerf bars, then shopping online for those and more, like truck steps, could help save some money.
