American Airlines In Privacy Flap
Good morning, this is flight AA658 with nonstop service to YourPrivacyRaped City. Will passengers Abjheet, Akbar, Malinowski, Ali and anyone else who has a last name that doesn't sound White Bread American please approach the ticketing counter to be entered into the "database" and have your information spread over God knows how many other "databases?"
Thank you for your cooperation, and thank you for flying American Airlines. And JetBlue. And Northwest.
It has come to my attention (yet again) that Microsoft Internet Explorer is still a shitty standards-noncompliant browser. You see, I took the time to come up with a nice little border-color-change for any image that links to something else, but of course Internet Explorer doesn't see that. Every standards-compliant browser out there does fine with it (Safari, Mozilla, FireFox, Opera), go figure that Internet Explorer can't. This is something that I probably should try to fix for IE, since so many people use it and need to know that an image is clickable (my Guinness ads were testament to the fact that people didn't figure out you were supposed to click on the pictures).
But God, can't you try for once to comply to industry-wide standards, Microsoft?
It has become accepted fact that I have a knack for pointing out social trends that will sooner than later become the mainstream. Witness metrosexuality (yes I so had my finger on the pulse of that one before it got out of hand and South Park made fun of it) and the pre-wrinkled shirt thing. In fact just monday I pointed out to Kristin and Nicole the prevalence of pre-wrinkled shirts.
Hearken to me, unbelievers, for the time of reckoning is nigh. I have predicted the next fashion trend, suffice to say it won't be long now before it comes to pass. And what, you may ask, is aforementioned next trend? I'll tell you.
Dorxuality. Yes, that word is definitely plagiarized from Ryan's vocabulary, but rightfully so. Geeks will be the next gay. And I don't mean Gay in a bad way. I mean the trendy fashionable gay that permeates today's society.
The trend has already started to seep into society bit-by-bit. Note the thick-rimmed black plastic glasses you see some guys wearing. It's no longer a style relegated to guys who think they are being "mod" or "indie" or whatever. Note also my undeniably geeky hairdo I've been rockin lately. I have gotten more hair compliments with this geeky hairdo than ever before, seriously. In light of this new trend to geekiness, I have worked out the next phase of the geek movement, something that will be snapped up by the masses who don't even know what it means.
I'm absolutely sure someone else must have come up with this idea, but I'm the one with the cool illustration:
Some of you may not even know what this is a spoof of. Well, have you ever heard of that uber-trendy brand "French Connection UK?" Well their new (insanely popular) marketing shtick is the acronym "FCUK." You can't walk down trend-central Newbury Street without seeing a shirt that says "FCUK Him" or "FCUK it" or "Hot as FCUK." Cute huh? Vomit.
If you're a hardcore geek you probably instantly recognized that "fsck" is the unix-based hard disk checker-upper. If you're not, well, I just told you what it means. Being that my site is light-years away from even remotely sizeable readership, I can get away with spoofs like this. Thank God for that.
