PalmPilot as fetish

Posted by Hemos on from the it's-better-then-latex! dept.

Croaker writes "Hmm-the PalmPilot as a fetish object? This article makes a pretty interesting case that, since people are pushing the Pilot to do things that are really outside its simple, elegant design, that it's more of a fetish symbol than tool " Interesting account of Palm experiences.

    I refused to believe the palm-as-fetish thing at first, but then I noticed the following 2 items in the Seattle Weekly personal ads -

    Case 1
    Men Seeking Men:
    GWM 35 fit, attractive seeks same for vigorous palm action.

    Case 2
    Men Seeking Women:
    SWM, College student - 24 Tired of staying home on friday nights having sex with my palm. Looking for older woman for cheap meaningless fling.

    The evidence cannot be denied.
