Fictitious character blogs

Nip and Tuck's serial rapist has his own blog at MySpace. This is not the first time fictitious characters have been given their own blogs, but this one seems to be extraordinarily popular. Grant McCracken points out that "the narrative signal is less predictable, less scrutable, and less controllable. This, in turn, may increase the character's, and the show's, powers of engagement."

It'd be very cool if the character blog survived the show. [Tags: blogs NipAndTuck]
