Today's Smarmy Society

You look like this in my mind every time you say iPhone instead of phone or telly.

Some of my followers are probably wondering why I've waited this long to talk about one of my most hated enemies - Apple products. Now I'm sure they are fun overpriced gadgets to play with or whatever that's not the entire point I'm trying to make with this shit, its the mentality. Every fucking body I know that has one has to point out that they are using their iPhone or iPad or iPod instead of their phone, mp3 player, or computer/tablet. It's like they get one of those fucking gold stars you used to get from elementary teachers in grade school when you did well on a test, every time they coin the iWhatever. Maybe it is policy when you buy an iProduct that you have to say it. Do you get a kick back?



I find it funny that if you own an old model of an iProduct then you are immediately labeled as lame because that is 'so old' but if the same person saw a guy with a Walkman and was playing tapes he'd be so retro and cool. Fuck you. The dude/dudette probably is strapped for cash got it on a deal and its all they can afford but fuck him/her anyway cuz they prolly overuse the word iPod anyway. The dude with the walkman is prolly just like my brother who has close to 300 pounds of 8 tracks in his garage. Hoarder. While we did get drunk and listen to KISS on 8 track while hanging up a Christmas tree on Xmas eve, 8 tracks shouldn't exist. (If you read that fast and it looks like: while we did get drunk and kissed - reread it mother fucker)

The iPod - The first to bust on the scene. Ugly. That was simple. You say that's a stupid as fuck argument but do you buy ugly cars? Clothes? Do you like to look ugly? Nope. This thing doesn't have a choice it is ugly and I don't buy ugly(most of the time), damn it.

The iPad - The only reason why this thing 'made it' was marketing. Tablet computers have been around for quite a while before this POS but I suppose when you limit the capabilities and make giant icons and put a little i in front of the name POOF its popular. Fuck off with that shit. Again, you get people that say 'Ya sitting in my chair using my iPad to browse the web.' I don't fucking care.  I'm going to drive my Dakota to the store while wearing my Smith & Wesson sunglasses to get some Safeway milk. (I actually had to get off my recliner to look and see what brand ye ol sunglasses were. I flipped over my recliner while typing this to see what brand it was and I couldn't find a brand so I'll just call it the Mor Furniture recliner because that's where I got it.)

The big fucking kahuna, the creme da la creme - The iPhone or more importantly the iPhoner. I've been at social events where everyone in the room is typing away on these fucking things. Why are we all here? Can't I just be at home instead of everyone bragging about the latest iPhone they have? Mother fuckers rush out and get the newest one because it is new. Why? Oh yeah for fucking status!! Choo choooooo - here comes the I don't give a fuck train! Some people also bitch about being broke all the time, yet they have the latest and greatest phone, stupid. People go out to eat and immediately plug into Facebook where they are, then check their email, play a dumb game. Nigga please! You are going out to eat with friends or family - disconnect and have a fucking conversation. No one gives a shit that you are eating at Pete's Taco Palace. I use this thing a lot for work. No you don't. You play Angry Birds or use Facebook on your iPhone because those options are blocked on your computer.The biggest and most retardedest feature has got to be 'auto correct'. People bitch about that shit everyday and its fucking dumb because you can turn it off. Turn it off please. Spare me from reading OH WHOOPS AUTO CORRECT STRIKES AGAIN! I'm sorry I didn't mean pussy I meant peaches.

Before my shit gets jumped (again) I will like to point out that iThink the smartphone is fantasmic for the uber busy, multitasking working person. That being said if you work at Burger King, you don't fucking need one for work.

  3. So it would be bad if I type this comment on my IPhone then? Yes I said it...picture me as you will. S'all good.
    Alas, I do not yet know how to make the interwbs on my IPhone (gah-said it again!) to the degree needed to leave a comment on any blog. #tectarded
    I'll just have to comment from my laptop, which is also Mac but not an Ianything...I am an Apple girl, because Apple products are for the folk like me (don't tell the other users...) the techtarded. The products are fail safe, fail proof. Easy, breasey and virus proof. Don't matter if I open an Uh-Oh site, nothing happens to my laptop. No crashing, no corrupting. Just close the window and move on. For that alone, I need Apple. The searches I have had to do have lead me down some dark places...

    My IPhone (eep!) is an old seconds, last one on the shelf, no one wanted her. It was cheap-o-la, which is how I roll! My son's phone cost more than her! But I admit I love, love, love the apps I can get...#nerdalert!...like take a pic of that flower and voila here it's name, species and genus-Be still my beating heart!

    So hate on me all you want, I can take it. I'll still be an Apple girl anyway.

  5. I'm technologically retarded and indifferent. My phone is dying. I have to buy a new one like yesterday. I have the SHITTIEST INTERNET IN EXISTANCE. So when it doesn't work, (often) I use my phone to go online and talk to my pretend friends that make up my social life. Because I live in the middle of nowhere, there's no popping over to a friend's house for a quick cup of coffee so my brain doesn't explode from answering the question; "MAMA! What doing?!" one more time.
    So no. I don't have a job that requires me to have a smartphone. I have a life that does. Because I think the smartphone would cost less than the gas for my car, therapy, cigarettes, or gallon jugs of vodka I'd need to replace it.
    I will get an iPhone I'm sure. Not because I think it's the best thing out there, but because it goes online, and does yet another thing I spend most of my life doing; take awesome pictures of my beautiful little one. Do I want an iPhone? I don't. We don't have good cell service up here either so I text everyone and I think the texting thing on the phone SUCKS ASS. But. What can I do? 2 out of 3 ain't bad right?
    I feel I should add I got my sunglasses at the dollar store 4 years ago, and my husband currently has a FIRST generation iPhone. So you don't defriend us or anything. ;))
