Funnest Ipod Ever? Language as a Slippery Slope

The English language as a slippery slope (such a boring cliché):

"The funnest iPod ever."

This is the new marketing slogan for iPod Touch. I came across it on allmusic.com, and it was accompanied by a short video displaying its new features. For some reason they thought this slogan would connect and even felt it was necessary to end on this sentence rather than let the iPod’s actions speak for itself. Well, the slogan shouldn’t work, and it might not, and it doesn’t really matter. These products have been speaking for themselves for years already. All that you have to say is ‘new iPod’ and everyone knows what you’re talking about.

I could go on and on about how silly and stupid this slogan is, but that will be enough of that. No reason to get aggravated over something so silly, is there? It’s hard to stop yourself sometimes. There’s a lot of tension on and off the internet. It makes one wonder if a lot of it has to do with the world at large. I doubt it. There isn’t much happening in the world to report about. I saw that there was some sort of Youtube concert recently, but you have to wonder why that wasn’t in any of the newspapers I didn’t read. You really have to wonder where our priorities are right now.

Where are mine, you ask? Oh, you didn’t. Oh. How embarrassing.

Well, since I thought you did ask, but didn’t, I’ll tell you anyhow (I don’t care much for this passive aggressive behavior). My priorities lie with myself at the moment. There’s nothing else in the world that really gives me much pleasure but waking up every morning and seeing myself (I have mirrors all over my room and body). When I see myself in the morning I make it a habit to ask how I have been since I saw myself last. Sometimes I have a dream to relay, and sometimes I don’t really want to talk about myself, which can aggravate me (there’s no pleasing some aspects of me). And, so far, I have always been there for myself. There hasn’t been a day that I didn’t wake up and find myself right there next to me. Who else can provide such service at such cheap rates?

On reflection it’s quite clear that I’m remarking on the world around me (as if there were another).

However, instead going on and inviting myself into a folding match of minds, I’ve decided to sing a song:




And thank you.
