I mean, if you went outside today you probably saw a car or someone with a cellphone. And that car or cellphone had a model. People are constantly talking about these models. If you have a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti or and iPhone, you're instantly cool (and quite probably you're financially well off). If you have an Toyota Prius or a Motorola Droid you're pretty cool. But what about if you have an Oral-B Triumph? Or an Aquafresh Gel-Flex?
People often argue about what models of cars or phones or whatever are better. You could often hear a conversation like this:
First Guy: Duuuuuuude, Ferrari's are soooo much better!
Second Guy: Aston Martin pwns Ferrari, man!
First Guy: No way! Ferrari!
Second Guy: Aston Martin!
First Guy: Ferrari!
Second Guy: ASTON MARTIN!
First Guy: FERRRRRRAAAARRRRRRIIIIIIIII!
(Third Guy walks up)
Third Guy: Dudes, you're both wrong. iPhones are teh pwnxorx.
First Guy: ...
Second Guy: Dude, you're waaay out of it.
But you'd never hear a conversation like this:
First Guy: Oh dude! Have you seen the new Oral-B Triumph?
Second Guy: Yeah.
First Guy: Isn't it the most awesomist thing ever?
Second Guy: Nah.
First Guy: What? It's soooooo cool!
Second Guy: The Aquafresh Gel-Flex is cooler.
First Guy: No way! Oral-B rocks!
Second Guy: Aquafresh kicks butt!
First Guy: Oral-B kicks more butt!
Second Guy: No it doesn't! Oral-B sucks pond scum!
Second Guy: No it doesn't! Oral-B sucks pond scum!
First Guy: ORAL-B IS SO MUCH MORE AWESOME THAN YOU OR YOUR AQUAFRESH!
Second Guy: NO! ITS! NOOOOOOOOTTTTT!
And of course, haha, all this arguing over whether the Oral-B Triumph or the Aquafresh Gel-Flex is cooler is silly and I'd never take part in it...
...Because I have a Colgate 360.
Spammy, this was hilarious! Well done!
ReplyDelete*glances around slyly* I have one of those cheap, brandless toothbrushes you get on sale. Hehe *sticks miserly nerd badge on head*
:D Don't feel bad, Zella. I have one of those flip-open cell phones that do have model numbers, but they're obscure things like 'W377' or something, so no one remembers them :S
ReplyDeleteOh my God! I have one of those, too! We can wear miserly nerd badges together! *hands badge over*
