Some Peoples Kids

In many of my past blog topics I have had common run-ins with children who clearly don't give a F*&k about their safety or their surroundings.

Today, in the episode of shopping for birthday gifts for my father, I was aimlessly wandering around Best Buy gawking at things I want but can't afford.

Me Gawking at things I can't afford

Illustrations all done by yours truly.

So as I am walking around the store shopping more for me then my dad. I stumble into the Video Game section. Now with game already in hand I am side stepping people playing the demo games in the aisles. Reading the game box fairly intensely I look up and clear  myself for the tactical movement to the next section and coming around the corner I feel something is not right as I go face first into the floor, things in my hands go crashing everywhere and now I am the center of attention in the entire store.

Apparently there was a little fat child sitting on the floor in the middle of the walking path playing the Wii (and everyone hates the Wii). He must have felt it necessary to plop his fat ass down there while mommy and daddy go shop. Now that I no long have any items in my hands and i'm tangled up in Wii controller cords I look at him and he has the nerve to tell the adult that he just closed lined "You made me die dumbass!!!" 

Knowing that mommy and daddy must be around somewhere and now are probably rolling toward me to protect their offspring, that I have now personally harmed by messing up his video game. I quickly untangle myself and gather my items from the floor and move on without saying a word.

Moments later I make a loop and circle back for round two.

Yup he is still intensely involved by Donkey Kong Wii. Go figure. I move on and continue my shopping.

After I check out (in case you read this...Sorry dad I didn't get you anything at Best Buy) I swing back around for pass number three. Said child's parents are there and from a quick ninja maneuver behind the parents out of the boys sight I hear "Did that mean man hurt you? Did he mess up your game?" After hearing that I quickly dive into the next aisle and B-Line for the exit thinking that these crazy people are going to call Best Buy Secret Police on my or something.

Once outside I just can't help but thinking. What is this world coming to when you let your kid play video games and trip people, then immediately think that the person being tripped is at fault because he made your son loose his video game.

Either way, It is gonna be a funny story to tell at the next social gathering I attend.

The 3 Phases of new Technology

When a new technology is introduced to the public, three kinds of stories are written in "The Media." Here they are, in order:

1. "Hey, look at this New Thing!"
2. "You can have sex with this New Thing!"
3. "The New Thing can hurt you."

Motion Sensing additions to 3rd gen Video game consoles:
1) The Wii came out and everyone was drooled over how cool it was with its motion senor num-chucks. Not long after that everyone heard the lawsuit going around about how some lady let go of her num-chucks and they went flying across the room and hit someone else standing nearby watching her Mario Kung Fu action. Crazy lady, who is obviously mentally impaired, looses lawsuit and now all following technological inventions have to have some sort of goofy warning.

2) The Kinect comes out for the Xbox. The world is amazed with the notion that you no longer need to use your hands to play video games, it is now more realistic than ever. Within a month the game developer ThriXXX comes out with a sex game for the Kinect. Microsoft shut ThriXXX down within a matter of hours after their Media Release about their "Hands Free sex game" came out. After a few months now I still read stories of people hurting themselves, their surround furniture, and the TV itself.


3) The PS3 Move. Lacking in all departments. You stole the Num-chuck controllers from the Wii and after the Kinect came out, no one was to impressed. Sorry.


Web Cams:
At the first sign of video chatting through a computer the world was up in flames to acquire this new technology. Soon I'm sure people were video chatting naked. That is basically like watching porn online BUT the porn star can see you too. Next thing you know the person you thought you trusted took pictures of you naked and has now posted them all over the image boards. Now that your naked pictures are all over the internet, good luck explaining that to anyone who questions you about it.

Yes, that is a picture of yourself nude,
 that you just found online.

On to what every one wants. Pictures display things way better then words, so here are some of them to help put my point across:

Next time something technological comes out, watch these steps occur.

These are only two examples, If you have more put them in a comment on this post and I'll put them up to a case study!
