		<description>Damn! I just happened to pop over to this link doing a little research, but heh heh; ian bell, what species of yappie (yeah, I said yappie-) cliche human evolutionary blunder are you exactly, if i may ask... nope, &#039;eeun, heh heh, i don&#039;t like like your approach, and it&#039;s--along with yourself--pretty much what&#039;s wrong with american society today, much more everything else.&lt;br /&gt;
Say!, &#039;eeun, can you spell &#039;superficial dips..t? guess so, you&#039;re a big time &#039;rich&#039; writer who just can&#039;t wait to throw your money to your psychic overlords (heh heh); you know, the ones who get insecure yappie freaks of the new age who are pavlovian dogs to whatever the media tells you is the &#039;hippest, (ect.) best way to eat, drink, dress, buy, speak, socialize; and how, when, where and with whom you should do it...of course, you do have their tacit permission to choose among the myriad offerings mediaworld/dimension/concept of reality gives you. Wow, we po ignernt hicks who could care less about tv, &#039;beamers (lord! the yappie vernacular truly makes all but makes me physically ill, ha ha),&#039; and accept for when and where I have to (ahem) &#039;interface,&#039; (gods of reality and common sense forgive my flippant surrender to using an &#039;eeun-mediadrone-ism, this once, heh heh).&lt;br /&gt;
Hey, speedy; if you&#039;re into throwin that green stuff around so impatiently, perhaps you might think about; I don&#039;t know, say, someone--or ones--who would be even happier than you are about new toys and advertising your belligigerance towards us do-it-your-selfers who do-it-ourselves &#039;cause we enjoy using our minds and hands and developing things on our own, to have a meal, or a warmer winter coat (hey,it wouldn&#039;t even--yappies and mediaworld forbid--have to have a &#039;label, or be otherwise superfically emblanonized (the freezing, starving, &#039;po folk are actually not so perceptionally-attenuated as to what others think of the &#039;cool/hip/socio-cultural identifying factors, like labels, as the Ferarri-owning-GQ-metrosexual...or whatever hip way I&#039;m sure you identify yourself; oh, please don&#039;t get me wrong, &#039;eeun, as i am quite sure you do it with the maximum of the suave, casual, understated hipness that many people actually don&#039;t give a flying dump about. But I have dumped enough and i think i&#039;ve vented my almost disbelief that anyone would actually write driveling superficial bs and moreover pay someone to to do it! But hey, have fun, I only stumbled onto your little column and have already spent far too much time in medialand&#039;s virtuality, and the sad sad land where people who need a life go to look for one when it&#039;s right behind the eyes they have glazed over staring into their CRT.&lt;br /&gt;
have a REAL one there, mr. bell</description>

		<description>Hey, &#039;Ian;&#039; well, speedy, sure glad our megarich/megapoor society has superficial yappie slobs like your self who, according to your glib little article seem to find it somewhat offensive that we &#039;po folk like to go out and--have to--bulid our own quality/efficient pcs &#039;cause we can&#039;t afford (nor would anyone with any common sense, practicality or time to do anything but &#039;appear sauve, ****y and cool) appeal to the already overly-powerful and socially transforming &#039;super-corporations&#039; to just forget about all us &#039;other&#039; species out here and devote their time to providing truly valuable toys for the truly valuable species of human like yourself...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hey! No worries, mate! i am almost positive that some super species individual likeminded with yourself will no doubt provide you and yours with exactly whatever super-toy ya&#039;ll happen to have a hankering for. But, forgive my sarcasm, I realise we can&#039;t all afford ferarris and more than a few of us actually feel the urge to puke when we hear some insecure individual use some yappie (yeah--I wrote yappie) use a &#039;power&#039; word like &#039;beamer.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
and who have nothing much better to do than live whatever life the media gods help ya&#039;ll decide is presently most urgent and necessary; as well as, how to dress, talk, eat, think and view yourselves and reality. But hey, have fun!&lt;br /&gt;
But...try, someday, try being real.</description>
