RE: IPhone users are insufferable geeks

Why call only iPhone users insufferable geeks? I believe BlackBerry, or “CrackBerry,” users were the first to hold that distinction. They’re the ones who live and die by push email, constantly checking what text messages they’ve received.

I don’t know why you are just targeting iPhone users when BlackBerry users would be more likely the leaders in the world of arrogance.

It’s like complaining about having a large phallus: Everyone wants one, but not everyone can have one. And when you whip it out, everyone goes “ooh” and “aah” at its splendor, so you feel somewhat smug about the whole thing.

So what’s the problem with having a big you-know-what?
