For those of you who don't know, a WAG is the tabloid term for a wife or girlfriend of a footballer, prime UK examples being Posh Spice, Coleen or Cheryl Tweedy. Even though they are normally quite chav-tastic, thick, talentless, perma-tanned, and their boyfriends constantly cheat on them (sometimes with grannies), people still want to be one! Yup, go figure.

But what I've come to realise recently is that the era of the WAG is sooo OVER. Come forth the WIG..

I know you are wondering what a WIG is, so I will tell you.

A WIG (according to me) is a Wife (or girlfriend ) of an Internet Geek.

Prime examples of internet geeks?

Mark Zuckerberg (Founder of Facebook)
Chad Hurley (CoFounder of YouTube)
Larry Page (CoFounder of Google)
Pete Cashmore (CEO of Mashable)
Michael Arrington (Editor of Techcrunch)

(Mashable and Techcrunch are popular tech blogs)

Anyway my point is... why are so many girls still chasing after their dream of becoming a WAG, when there is blatantly a new breed of superstar in our midst? A superstar that comes in the form of... the internet geek.

Really? I hear you ask... Ok lets do some quick comparisons.

*INTERNET GEEK vs. FOOTBALLER*

1) BRAINS
Geek=Yes
Footballer=No

2) LOOKS
Geek=Getting so much better...
Footballer=Getting so much worse...

3) CASH
Geek=Yes. (Lots.)(and lots)
Footballer= Not in same league as geek (pardon the pun!)

4) CHANCES OF ONGOING FIDELITY
Geek=High. Chances are, if you get with an internet geek, you may be the only girl that they have ever kissed.
Footballer= Non existent

Point proven.

hmmmm, yeah, lucky Posh Spice... oh wait.. didn't he cheat on you with his PA? And, doesn't he have an under average IQ? mmm, yup, lucky Posh... 
Larry Page, founder of Google, with his WIG. She's smiling. He's smiling. In his jet. Not surprised she's smiling... 
Chad Hurley (Co Founder of YouTube). God bless America. 
Michael Arrington, Editor Techcrunch. This picture says it all really... 
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook 
Pete Cashmore, CEO of Mashable on the right... No words, really... (apart from yummy!) 
These girlies (Coleen somewhere among them, cant tell which one as they all look the same) are WAGs. I honestly cant think of anything else to say about them.
