Hey Media Douchebags!

July 7th, 2008, by The Angry Drunk

So help me, if I hear one more of you lack­wits call­ing the AT&T iPhone plan pric­ing “evil” I’m com­ing over there and beat­ing you sense­less.  Here’s a per­spec­tive les­son for you hyper­bolic fuck-nuts.  Hitler was “evil”, Pol Pot was “evil,” Ted Bundy was “evil.”  $35.00 a month for unlim­ited data and 200 SMS mes­sages is incon­ve­nient at best.

In con­clu­sion, suck a dick.

    I couldn’t have said it bet­ter myself. Also, that is the best con­clu­sion in the his­tory of the writ­ten word.

    I’ve had to take a break from tech pod­casts because of all the enti­tle­tard whin­ing about the new iPhone. Ever since the orig­i­nal iPhone was intro­duced, peo­ple were screech­ing that it was too expen­sive and why didn’t it have a sub­sidy to make it cheaper like other phones. Now Apple has “sold their soul”, “given in to evil” and “sold out” for doing exactly that.

    Along with that there’s all the out­rage over the required in-store acti­va­tion. You wanted a sub­si­dized, cheaper phone but expect AT&T to piss money down a drain while you glee­fully unlock your iPhone to sign up with another car­rier (while gloat­ing about it on your enti­tle­tard blog).

    And don’t even get me started about all the “iPhone price is decep­tive because it costs more over the life of the con­tract” bull­shit. If that’s the case the pur­chase price of any device that requires a sub­scrip­tion ser­vice to func­tion is decep­tive (“they said my Dish Network DVR costs $329, but if really costs me $1,290 dol­lars over 2 years includ­ing the ser­vice! Those lying bastards!”).

    And why did peo­ple think they were enti­tled to the enhanced 3G speeds for free with all the whin­ing over the extra $10? Wake me when the tech media regain some sense of san­ity and perspective.

    Enjoy your nap! Shall we just call you “Rip van Winkle” then? It may take at least that long before any of the media (not just tech) stun­ble over san­ity or perspective.
