Satire: Life

Not for the Timid!

OK, time for another episode of wtf irritates my hind end.

Today's subject: The iPhone

Wtf kind of moron would spend $400 on a phone, then spend $300 more on thier first bill? Honestly, this is Starbucks all over again. People buying expensive crap that they don't need just to fit in with the "IN" crowd. These people are a bunch of brainless trend followers who have no sense of what the definition of 'individuality' means. Maybe they should've spent that $400 on an iDictionary to look it up.

And while they are at it, Look up 'Lame brained moron' as well..and try not to be astonished when you see your picture next to the definition. Seriously, these people do not understand that they are unique. Apple CEO Steve Jobs did a wonderful job at targeting this idiotic demographic. He probably said "hey, let's create this sleek, slim, desireable piece of crap and then create a trend around it, THEN sell it at a high price to people who are too stupid to know any better."

I will say more power to him that he came up with such genius, However...He can't target the smarter people with such marketing schemes. A shiny piece of crap that has been cast in pure silver is still a piece of crap. No matter how catchy the marketing, how trendy the design, nor how sleek the packaging...its still a materialistic thing that will probably not stand the test of time.

Going back to the iPhone, Another thing that I do not like about this piece of socialite technological bullsnot is that its lack of individuality itself. The lack of service providers hinders its uniqueness greatly. you can only get the iPhone with AT&T service. That's it! Ya know, Verizon, Alltel, and Nextel (to name a few) would all enjoy having iPhones on their shevles to sell. But NOOOO....Apple and AT&T signed an exclusive deal to monopolize the morons and take their hard earned money. Wonderful, huh?

Anyway, I think I am pretty much done here. Be sure to check out the new crap that they are coming out with this Christmas. The vaccum cleaner (iSuck), the drill (iScrew), the toilet (iCrap), soda (iDrink), fog machine (iSmoke), and the stress relief device (iBall).

I am off to cast my dog's feces in pure silver and encrust it in diamonds, then try to sell it on Ebay.
