    I hate nature as much as the next guy, but . . . camping? Really?! What's the point, if you're going to sit around watching satellite television?

  2. Not awkward...depressing by DogDude · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would say that this pictures isn't so much "awkward" as it is "depressing". This happy, shiny, bright picture with people smiling is a lot more depressing than any dystopian sci-fi movies/books I've ever seen/read. Ugh.

    I'm a bit of a luddite and not really a nerd (I don't code, don't like sci-fi, not a gadget nut, etc.)

    What the heck are you doing on slashdot? You sound like my father in law- who has yet to allow his second wife to have internet in the house because he's heard all these news reports about how computers cause viruses.....
