Commenter on an earlier, unrelated post
Every few years, a young man named Nick appears in a popular boy band.
Last time it was Nick Lachey of 98 Degrees. Some of Nick Lachey’s fans apparently trolled the Internet grilling anyone with this first name, on the off chance that they might discover the Nick Lachey.
This time Nick Jonas of the Jonas Brothers suffers an indignity Nick Lachey never faced: He isn’t as popular as I am on a Google search for [nick].
In fact, my Twitter account is the first result after two links to Nickelodeon. It’s the first result that isn’t obviously not Nick Lachey. And the comment quoted above leads me to the sad conclusion that half of my readers are only here looking for another Nick.
