iPhone users are Mean? Oh no!


According to a company called Retrevo, iPhone users are not nice. In their "Gadgetology study" on the typical iPhone user, they find:

  • One in three iPhone owners has texted or emailed their significant other to break up.

  • One in four iPhone users has broken up with their partner because that person spent too much time on their mobile device.

  • One in three iPhone owners say that, if their partner had out-of-date gadgets, it would be a turnoff.

  • One in five iPhone owners admits to frequently watching "adult material" on their iPhones. (Twice as many as BlackBerry owners).

  • When iPhone owners asked, "What makes a person most attractive to you?" iphone owners preferred cool gadgets over a college degree 3 to 1.

  • Compared with other cell users iPhone owners are more likely to see themselves as media buffs, extroverts and intellectuals

Care Tags- Levi's- Donate 'em when you're done

Coming soon to your Levi's- Care Tags that ask you to use cold water for washing, and to line dry them if possible. When you are done donate them to Goodwill instead of chucking them.

Apparently clothing makes us a large part of the 23.8 billion pounds of textiles that find themselves in landfills in the US.

Machine Wash Cold- Line Dry When Possible- Donate to Goodwill!

Journalists get pranked -The Yes Men Guerrilla Guys Strike again

Craving for instant breaking news to fill 24 hour news networks, journalists are getting easier and easier to prank. On Monday at the National Press Club in Washington, a news conference took place. What news organizations believed was that they were seeing the US Chamber of Commerce break news that it was reversing its position on climate change. "Without a stable climate, there will be no business," the speaker said.

Instantly as it was happening the message was conveyed first by Reuters followed quickly by the New York Times and in live analysis by Fox News. By this time the Real Chamber of Commerce became aware of the situation and broke into the press conference denying any policy change. The prankster was revealed as Andy Bichlbaum of the Yes Men. The Chamber of Commerce is threatening to sue the Yes Men, of course and the Yes Men couldn't be more delighted-how better to ensure the cause gets more press.



What it says, what it means...people believe guys in suits, among other things!
