They enable people to build "don't bother me" walls around themselves. I wonder how anyone meets anymore, and if eHarmony has stock in cell phone companies.John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-60838505107885312762010-04-17T13:48:48.074-07:002010-04-17T13:48:48.074-07:00This sort of crap is why I don't much care for...This sort of crap is why I don't much care for cell phones; instead of using the things to further human contact, Verizon and their kind are doing their damnedest to make Fahrenheit 451 a reality.DreadedCandiru2https://www.blogger.com/profile/15561460498807276057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-67897255912892885162010-04-16T20:17:41.948-07:002010-04-16T20:17:41.948-07:00I see a mom all too willing to waste a great deal ...I see a mom all too willing to waste a great deal of the day looking at a tiny screen, and two kids who seem perfectly willing to join in on the Fun Phone Staring.

Also, good point about the "intentionally vague ethnicity". Not only do the children look nothing like their parents but they look somewhat hispanic.

When they look up to wonder where he is, he's already entered the park, gone through a line, and is on a ride. Got to figure Zombie Phone Family spent at least 15 minutes trying to figure out how to "save time" on lines by staring at Mommy's stupid toy. <br /><br />One of these days, Mommy will look up from "checking" something and say to her daughter "weren't you a toddler just a minute ago?"John F Jamelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18351383534436377360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8662171249638416805.post-80381605101185768182010-04-16T13:22:55.945-07:002010-04-16T13:22:55.945-07:00I loved the way Homer Simpson handled that balloon...I loved the way Homer Simpson handled that balloon in the show's brilliant take on "The Prisoner"- by popping it with a plastic fork.<br /><br />Male Scientist: "Why did you think a balloon would be able to stop him?"<br /><br />Female Scientist: "Shut Up!
