<p><span class="autocomment">External Links</span></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div><br /> [[Image:Postsecret.jpg|thumb|A typical PostSecret postcard]]<br /> [[Image:Postsecretlensflare.jpg|thumb|The secrets sent in to PostSecret are apparently [[lens flare]]s.]]<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;PostSecret&#039;&#039;&#039; encourages [[lonely]], [[suicidal]], [[emo]] people, with fucked up pasts, twisted [[sex]] lives, and/or disturbing [[fetish]]es, to write their deepest, darkest secrets on homemade postcards. Then, these people mail their [[crap|works of art]] with [[shit nobody cares about|secrets]] scribbled on them to a man in [[Maryland]] that they&#039;ve never met. He posts them on the [[internet]] and publishes them in [[old media|books]], making the secrets thoroughly un-secret. [[Some argue|Some believe]] that having the most embarrassing [[fact]] about you on display to the entire world will, of course, prevent you from killing yourself.<br /> <br /> A selection of some of the most controversial secrets are featured in the song, &#039;&#039;Dirty Little Secret&#039;&#039;, by The All-American Rejects. Hearing your secret in the lyrics is yet another reason to not commit suicide.<br /> <br /> ==Materials==<br /> PostSecret postcards are commonly made of:<br /> *[[The_Google#Google_Images|Google Image Search]] search results<br /> *[[Porn]]<br /> *[[Photoshop]] [[skillz]]<br /> *Song lyrics<br /> *[[Poetry]]<br /> *The creator&#039;s own [[shit|artistic abilities]]<br /> *[[Fail]]<br /> *[[AIDS]]<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> [[Image:Postsecretad.jpg|thumb|Postcards are selected based on on how good of an ad they are.]]<br /> [[Image:FrankSigning.jpg|thumb|Frank signing one of the books. Taking credit for the work of others.]]<br /> PostSecret was originally founded by Frank Warren in response to the [[Supreme Court]] ruling that the [[Catholic]] [[Church]] must end its [[monopoly]] on secrets. Now, however, PostSecret continues mainly [[for the lulz]] and in the interest of [[capitalism]].<br /> <br /> In PostSecret&#039;s early days, information about the suicide prevention hotline would be present at the bottom of the page every week. Feedback from visitors would be emailed in and then hand-picked by Frank to be posted in response to the postcards, saying things like, &quot;Don&#039;t become [[an hero]]! It was just an iPod! [[bullshit|We still love you]]!&quot;<br /> <br /> Then, one day, Frank had an epiphany:<br /> <br /> :1. Collect postcards.<br /> :2. Compile these postcards into a book.<br /> :3. Everyone whose postcard is included in the book will be guaranteed to buy the book, plus some other saps.<br /> :4. [[????]]<br /> :5. [[PROFIT]]!<br /> <br /> From that point on, the website&#039;s primary motivation has visibly shifted away from keeping depressed people alive to keeping Frank&#039;s wallet fat. The suicide prevention hotline information was removed and replaced with information about the books, tour dates, and [[Amazon]] links. Visitor comments are chosen to be posted not by how uplifting they are, but based on how well they [[advertising|advertise]] the latest book. And if you send it in a postcard about the book, that HAS to go up. Quick, take down the one about having [[depression|lost all hope]], and put up the ad postcard! <br /> <br /> ==Gallery of Secrets==<br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:Postsecretdogfurry.jpg|Someone wants to be a [[furry]].<br /> Image:Postsecretignored.jpg|Become [[an hero]] for the sake of all the unpublished postcards.
