Do Cell Phones Make Us Stupid?
Noodleroni writes "I came across this article on MSNBC that discusses why it seems cell phone users are so stupid sometimes. A very interesting read." Absolutely no scientific basis in this - 'cept for the DoCoMo study, but it still seems true.
Woman + Ricer (asian in honda) + Cell Phone + Bouncing Dwarfs in rear window + Bouncing yellow civic on dash..
ricers... Finger one 2 day!
Best approach.. Tell them that their car looks pathetic and is over-compensation for their short yellow dick!
Dear Hemos,
I fucked your mom last night.
Love,
Dad.
I find it amusing that this could be modded as 'Funny' despite having, as far as I can tell, no meaning whatsoever. The pronoun 'them' at the end does not clearly refer to anything. It could refer either to "people" or "cell phones" (there are no other possible subjects), however in either case the sentence does not seem to make logical sense:
"Cell phones don't make people stupid, they just bring a lot of people to light"
"Cell phones don't make people stupid, they just bring a lot of cell phones to light"
The second is vacuous and moronic, unless you are literally referring to illuminated displays or keypads on a cellular telephone. The first could convey some kind of meaning, but there is no contextual indication of a metaphoric sense in which the subject "people" is brought "to light", and it is hard to imagine it being meant literally. In either case there is little relationship to the first sentence fragment, as indeed the stupidity of people, or the process of making people stupid, is not referred to at all.
Talk about having a problem with EM radiation. I was sitting on a train using my laptop and all of a sudden my balls just ignited. It was quite embarrassing. So much for a relaxing commute, not to mention the fact that the woman across from me just about freaked out. And the funny thing is that my wife just said 'Yes dear' when I told her about it later that night.
So guys watch out for those laptops.
