Bloviating Zeppelin: New Sony Release!

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

New Sony Release!

This is how I feel about most of today's technology, Luddite that I am.

Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Is there anyone here, besides me, who was either tempted to or actually HAS done physical damage to a malfunctioning POS. I have taken a ballpeen hammer to a malicious printer, and it was absolutely delightful.

Teresa said...: BZ,
I must relay a story to you. My husband had been having trouble with his laptop for a long while. Then, it stopped functioning altogether. He was so ticked because the warranty was up. Well, he placed the laptop, POS that it was, on the ground and ran it over with the car several times. He felt great after doing that. I have to say I was LOL. We both said good riddance to the POS computer.; Sat Jan 16, 04:48:00 PM PST
Pasadena Closet Conservative said...: Wow, I'm still laughing! And while I was watching it, your late dad in that photo was looking at me as if to say, "yes, I know."; Sat Jan 16, 05:06:00 PM PST
Spokes said...: Heeeeelllllllll, yes, it's funny!; Sat Jan 16, 07:32:00 PM PST
Spokes said...: Oh Hellllll yea, it's funny! So true, too. Remember trying to set the freaking clocks and timers on original betamax recorders???? Oh yea...so true!!; Sat Jan 16, 07:33:00 PM PST
Maggie Thornton said...: :-) The best humor is always truthful.; Sat Jan 16, 09:10:00 PM PST
Unknown said...: I can't remember when I have laughed so hard...thanks :-)
To answer your question, yes..I took a hammer to a desk top, and more recently stomped my phone (a *Dash* ) to death. And I will do it again if they keep making crap like it.
At my age, anger management classes wouldn't work.; Sat Jan 16, 10:53:00 PM PST
A Jacksonian said...: Yes Sony can put out great iconography to showcase the latest POS... so can Apple, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Microsoft....

You know it is possible to sell lots of crap products with great imagery? With great talking points! And getting people to ignore what is inside the package and if it actually works or makes any sense to them.... just look at the NSDAP and what the USSR did with imagery. You can sell any bunch of crap with a great image, but getting people to think if it makes sense BEFORE they buy it?

Good luck on that, I tellya.; Sun Jan 17, 03:57:00 AM PST
shoprat said...: I like increasing technical abilities but it's coming untested, unproven, and new items are coming out faster than they can be absorbed.; Sun Jan 17, 09:15:00 AM PST
Old NFO said...: Oh damn... coffee spewed over the heyborae...232o0821478-8[O;N; Sun Jan 17, 09:36:00 AM PST
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Aaaaaaah. . .even though it's Sunday now, it gladdens my heart to read that I am not the only one who has been taken to 210-over-190 by wantonly malfunctioning POS little machines "made to enrich and ease our lives" whose, instead, only jobs are to COMPLICATE OUR LIVES!!

BZ; Sun Jan 17, 11:33:00 AM PST
Greybeard said...: I want to press "send" and not have to ask "Can you hear me now?"
I don't give a flip if it takes photos or can surf the web.; Sun Jan 17, 11:45:00 AM PST
Law and Order Teacher said...: BZ,
I'm laughing at this because my wife and I just bought a huge HI-DEF TV. We thought we were seeing and loving the best TV. My son comes over and lo and behold he says, "That doesn't look like it should." He goes behind the TV and starts disconnecting wires and daggone if we don't have a great picture. Yeah, the POS are tought to figure out. Good post. I'm a Luddite too. Of course, their fears have been realized, no?; Sun Jan 17, 01:31:00 PM PST

: Name: Bloviating Zeppelin; Location: Sierra Nevada Mountains, Fornicalia, United States

A former Democrat in my tender and ignorant youth, I am now a Conservative first and, these days, quite a distant Republican with a dash of Libertarian mixed in for good measure. I believe in God, the strength of America, the brilliance of our Founding Fathers, the valor of our military, and the need for Leadership in all forms and on every level. I am not an advocate of censorship as I believe everyone on the Far Left has a God-given right to be painfully stupid -- as I have a right to expose said stupidity.
