Just when you think Americans can’t act like bigger dumbasses, they top themselves. Not only do these non-thinking dregs believe that Iran is a threat to the United States, but they are willing to wait hours and in some cases days to be the first to get a new iPad. As if they won’t be available tomorrow or next week or for the rest of their freaking lives. How meaningless and pathetic must their lives be that they will worship at the altar of Apple for a lousy touch screen gadget. Such a vast swath of humanity has become so degraded, ignorant, and driven by nothing other than an insatiable appetite for material possessions, that only a collapse of the current economic system will bring people back to their senses. Or they will riot, loot, burn shit and kill each other. It will be a fitting conclusion when these zombies are killing each other with their igadgets.
Wow, exactly what I was thinking…
I wish I could wait in line all night for expensive gadgets. Unfortunately, I have to go to work so my tax dollars can go to pay for other people to buy them.
Calling people dumb asses and non-thinking dregs always helps…
Everybody else is a dumb ass, right? Right!
Nice sentiment, Jim!
You’ve got yours, fuck everybody else, is that it?
Yeah, right!
That’s exactly the greedy, every man for himself attitude that is driving Wall Street. It’s not the dumb asses fault for lining up at the big box stores, it’s the greedy corporations for driving consumerism at the expense of the greater good.
It’s not the dog’s fault if he shits on your carpet because you forgot to take him out. Or is it?
Nonanonymous
Didn’t you get your iPad after camping out at your local Wal-Mart for two days.
Go fuck yourself asshole.
Take that sentiment and shove it up your ass.
Yesterday, I was sitting waiting for the traffic signal light to go green.
I looked to my left, in a fairly new pickup truck were two guys. The driver had one hand on the steering wheel and one of these devices in his right hand, intently stairing at it.
To my astonishment the passenger had one I-pad in both hands., alternatingly tapping the screens with his index fingers.
What a way to die! Neither would have seen what hit them.
My wife and I laughed so hard when the light turned green, we pulled away and the cars behind those guys started blowing their horns.
As Buggs Bunny would say “2 Moorons and a Truck”.
Appalachian Trail Deblazer
I think the dumbasses in the pickup next to you were Nonanonymous and his boy friend.
There’s a new word in popular culture that I absolutely HATE with a passion …..
….. Apps
I fuckin wanna throw up every time I hear about a new app for this or that.
Apps Eat Shit
“It will be a fitting conclusion when these zombies are killing each other with their igadgets.”
Now that is some funny ass shit commentary.
Off topic, except for the “dumbass” part.
While watching Ed Schultz the other day he talked about the early March Madness game where some band members from a Mississippi University were yelling at a freshman named Angel Rodrigues from the other team, “Where’s your green card?”
Ed went on to say that the president of the University sent out a letter of apology on behalf of the school, but implied that Mississipians are dumb because she didn’t spell the player’s name right.
On the crawler at the bottom of the screen was this announcement:
“Six year old girl will be youngest ever to COMPLETE in the National Spelling Bee.”
That should have read Mississippians.
The essential evil of Apple products is that you have to stay totally within the Apple “universe” of products/apps. It is a platform that does not allow for much immigration, if you will, of other programs or stuff, even data transfer between the iproducts and non-iproducts is a bitch.
It is just the height of irony that iCrap is the favored brand of the lefties, the same people always screaming about diversity and inclusiveness, usually doing so in their iCrap, that they are doing so on one of the must restrictive and rigid operating systems, ever.
Truly the insanity and intellecutal inconsistency of the libs knows no bounds.
I will NEVER buy a piece of iCrap, EVER.
The “reporters” (ad execs) covering this “news” (marketing) could have done us some good by interviewing these people.
Are you paying cash or credit?
What is your interest rate and how long do you expect it to take to pay off?
Are you working? Full time? How many hours net does it take you to pay for this including financing? How many hours do you work a month to pay for your monthly service?
Are you living in your parent’s basement? Do you have any plan to pull your head from your ass, quit making the likes of Jobs rich, grow up and make something of yourself?
Just curious, and that is all that I care to know about the latest iDistraction.
Hey Stucky, did you know, they probably have an app for your hatred of apps?
Hey!! Why is my avatar this zombie-like figure with an exposed brain?? It looks like I even have fangs!!!!
Jim???
HZK
Your brain is so large, it can’t fit in your teeny head.
Ha ha very funny. Seriously, why do our avatars change and how can we put in ones we really want?
@TeresaE: GREAT questions, that sane and normal people would ask when purchasing stuff. Did you see my response to your great rant on the Obamacare costing more money? You should combine these two rants into an essay on the essential insanity of the American consumer being led down the road to financial destruction by the American government intent on killing the consumers they need to survive. And finance more insanity. You have really nailed the issue, IMHO.
Back to sqeezing my ginormous brain into my teeny skull.

I think Avalon can describe how to create your own avatar. I have no idea.
These idiots are killing each other off (and everyone else). There have been 16,000 deaths in the last 3 years from texting while driving. What percentage are icrap, I don’t know. Icrap has created zombies who walk around staring at their phones. They could evaporate or combust, and nobody would know the difference. Apple only makes about 20% of the cost of icrap, the Chinese make 60% and the other 20% is part suppliers. Yet, the market cap of Apple is a few billion shy of the ENTIRE retail sector in the U.S. Unbefuckinglievable.

The Ipad with wings! That is classic! Reminds me of a commercial about maxi pads…the punch line is,….”Wings are funny…they’re fabulous!” Classic!
A few more indispensable Apple product for the coming years:
iBeans
iRice
iBicycle
iSeeds
iCanopener
iShovel
and of course iMunition

Well Hope, there’s the rub…
sane and normal.
I don’t see many of those anymore. I see people that refuse to change their behavior because it would be uncomfortable. I see people that spend their monthly incomes on phones & cable tv.
The one thing I only seem to see here is sane and normal. At least my definition of such.
The iPad’ers probably think we are the ones that are not sane and normal.
So it goes.
“Go fuck yourself asshole.”
Admin’s response to anyone who doesn’t agree with him, isn’t as smart as him, isn’t as successful in business as him, anyone who challenges him, or basically anyone who deigns get in his way.
Nice.

You’ve got me figured out.
You’re smart, not dumb, like everyone says.
Soon they’ll have the IGlass, a pair of eyeglasses with some sort of heads-up type of display on the inside of the glasses that will give a 3D effect.
There will be an AWD app the will make all the obese women look like hot super models.
They got icrap for Iran:

Today’s choice whipping boy seems to be Apple. What amazes me is that the world’s most successful personal-information-stealer, Google, appears to be bulletproof in this I-hate-Apple me-too-ism. Google (or read “Android” if you wish) is easily as bad as Apple. The case can be made that they are much worse. You can start with the slave-labor “factories” that shove out the Android devices by the hundreds of thousands a day – factories which do not get the scrutiny lavished on the Apple factories. People, if Apple is bad, Google is decidedly Evil.
Next up: the Google Android fanbois defending their choice of gadgets…
Hope….to get your own avatar go to gravatar.com. You will need to be a member of TBP and use the same email address to log into the gravatar site, then upload a pic.
I think it was Punk in Drublic that first told us how to do this? Where have you been Punk?
I’m going to have to re-think my hatred for apps.
There is a large breast app!! Really. Get new mega-tits download daily!! See pic below.
There is also an app where women can send in their pictures … and then see what they would look like with larger breasts. Really. It’s called iAugment and the link is below.
I was going to goole in iLargerDick, but I didn’t because, … frankly, .. well, I don’t need to. Maybe llpoh can look it up for us.

Look at all those dumb ass iFuckers ruining the country. Look at them all line up at Wally World like cattle in a chute to get more stuff that no one needs. I wonder how many of these fools will be late on their rent or bills next month because they spent all their money or maxed out the credit card just to get a new IPad. These are the folks that the smart boys are taking to the river. And they deserve to be. And not even one boomer in sight. But boomer haters rest assured that just because the boomers aren’t the kind of morons that get in IStuff lines they are sure to be doing something different but just as stupid somewhere else.
Good old Apple bashing. It’s interesting, though, that nobody gives a flying fuck when the same lines are out there waiting for new Call Of Duty, new Batman movie ticket, new Harry Potter book, new Metallica album. I usually buy “new” staff after few months, when it’s cheaper and most day one issues have been fixed.
But, hey, people have FUN in those lines. It’s a fucking COMMUNITY out there, maybe built around all the wrong things, yes, but still.
EK
You are too dense to realize the post isn’t bashing Apple. It’s bashing the materialistic shallow dumbasses who worship things.
EK, nope, I mock them too. And throw in the idiots at Black Friday sales too.
We are equal opportunity mockers around here.
@Administrator if people worship things, it just displays there’s not much left to worship.
EK
How about not worshipping anything and trying some critical thinking. How about worshipping liberty and personal responsibility? How about holding people, corporations and governments accountable for their actions?
How about waking up from this 30 year materialistic debt financed stupor?
@Administrator all the right words, but they have nothing to do with the matter.
Anyway, “worship things” is your idea, mine is “just a bunch of people having fun hanging out there together”. No, I do not have an iPad.
EK
They have everything to do with the matter because that was the point of the post. You’re the one who read it as an anti-Apple post. You are a little on the dense side.
