Isn’t technology great?
Especially when it’s teamed up with honesty in advertising. Know your market and let them know you have the right product for them has always been a key to success in the retail game.
I suppose some people actually have 20 gigabytes of family pictures and wretched, boring holiday snaps. But I doubt it. That would be like, 145,000 good quality pictures or several hours of home movies of little Jimmy tossing a stick for Barky. I for one try to avoid people with that many photos because you know sure as shit that they are going to expect you to sit and look at their pictures and movies with them and they will get all offended if you don’t.
But you can also bet your bottom dollar, that there are people, probably even people you know, that do have 20 gigabytes of porn. And now, they can take it with them. At least with those people, there is a pretty good chance that they won’t expect you to sit with them and look at all their pictures. So them I can tolerate. Not because of what they have, but rather because of what I won’t have to put up with. You’re not likely to have them sliding up next to you in the lunch room saying, “Hey Bob, wanna see my new Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee movie or my Swedish Sorority Sisters photo series?”
At least you’ll know who they are. They’re the ones who have iPods, but seldom carry earphones. Which probably means the ‘back of the bus’ seats are even better to avoid than ever before.
