Phones, Man!

Cell phones are crazy sons of bitches! I find it completely absurd that any human being at any given time is able to contact me, and most importantly, most ring tones suck! Now that we have that out of the way, Verizon sent me a promotional post card this week for their “Blackberry Storm... Fall 2008”. I was assured that I was sent this flyer due to my significant V.I.P. status held with said company since their envelope clearly stated, Inside: Exclusive invitation for select customers. They would never send it to me simply because they are my current provider and want to sell me needless merchandise before another company offers me some sort greener pasture. Noooo, not at all. I’m sure I am very special and mean a lot to each and every employee at Verizon. My bill is outrageous but, that’s only cause they care so much. Truth be told, I was curious. I was intrigued. I went onto the website. I did, and what I found pissed me off. I found a page that was practically blank with nothing more then what that seductive flyer alluded to: This phone is fucking awesome, but you can’t see, and you won‘t be able to get it. Nope, not until thousands of people place it on hold before you and it sells out. You’ll have to wait until they restock the stores, cause when it makes it to the stores it will sell out there too. You won’t see it in real life until one of your friends or co-workers gets it and you will secretly spite that person until you finally go out and get it yourself but, by then my friend, we will have already sent you another flyer about our version 2.0. Which you will surely miss out on too! Fall 2009! There was a spot for me to leave my email to receive updates on the birth of little BBS however, things have a way of not working when I use them. I was sent to a blank page. Twice. I give up. In short, the phone may or may not be awesome and I would probably break it.
