Critical Miss: The Douche King

This. This, this, this.

Along with that stupid Geico commercial where he asks "Do people use smart phones to do dumb things?", which made me feel embarrassed to be a white person for like a month. And that fucking... that one, I can't remember what it's for but all you hear is some pippy posh teenage voice who is telling his app butler to do things, and demanding that the ostrich be removed from his bedroom. I've never wanted to kick a sharp object inside someone's ass so badly.

Hmmm, this looks likes the first set of symptoms...

Do you suddenly have an urge to break out your laptop in Stabucks coffee shops?

Actually I have an Ipod (yes, I write it that way.) touch 2nd generation. And I hate starbucks -.-

ALlthough I do see alot of .. fun things going to happen. No way that speechrecognition is so far advanced, or I am hugely mistaken. Everyone in that trailer speaks perfect english in a sound quiet surrounding (i.e. no background noise.) What about people with an accent? NOt sure if you have heard the dutch accent but good lord is it butchered. That will not work at all o.o

Perhaps I don't watch enough TV but this actually seems like normal behavior as opposed to what this comic made me expect. In the rant under the comic, they say:

It's some kind of appalling, dystopian nightmare-future, where the streets are filled with coiffed, jogging shits, barking orders into their five hundred dollar rectangles while slightly off kilter elevator music plays in the background. Ordinary people will be cramming themselves into the suicide booths, or lining up outside the Soylent Green factories. Anything to escape the endless mechanical chorus of confirmed business brunches, weather reports and advice on what specific kind of chorizo goes best on Tuscan flatbread.

Seriously? Do you think people talking on their cell phone while walking/driving look any better? The ones with the "clever" ringtones which make you wonder how the human race hasn't been declared an evolutionary dead end or the song ringtones which will imbed someone else's crappy music into your head? How about the ones with the Bluetooth headsets where you're trying to decide whether they're talking to someone or they're off their meds? And texting. Ah, texting. One of the smartest things that the Boondocks ever said was: Nothing important has ever been sent by a text.".....especially when the person is sitting across the table from you.

If people were going to cram themselves into the suicide booth, they would have done so already.
