SATIRE

Satire: Bill O'Reilly Asks: Has Technology Gone Too Far?

Written by Daryl D
Published April 09, 2007

Just the other day, I was at the movie theater watching a new foreign film that dealt with the beginnings of Jesus Christ (a great experience, but not nearly as incredible as The Passion of the Christ with my favorite actor, Mel Gibson). Suddenly, I hear a ringtone to the tune of some welfare rapper, Akon, singing "Don't Matter."

Not only was I insulted that a phone company would allow ringtones by such a talentless musical act (hey, what happened to the days of Lawrence Welk), but Jesus Christ, I was trying to watch a movie! Even worse, the man, who looked like he had just escaped from a porno shop on the East Side, didn’t answer the phone. Instead, he put on this body part shaped headset and talked through it. The phone was nowhere to be seen!

I found out later that this is a new liberal technology called Bluetooth, where a phone can transfer a signal at least thirty feet to a pair of headphones. If your phone is internet enabled, you can even use it as a Bluetooth modem and use your new ultra mobile pc to connect to the Internet. Is this ridiculous, or what? Even more ridiculous? These computers have been made small enough to actually fit in your pockets. Get this: some actually write on these computers with a pen!


Ten years ago, nobody even thought about writing notes on a mini-sized computer. They used something called pencil and paper! These new mini-computers run an operating system called Windows Vista, probably developed by illegal immigrants from Mexico. With these mini-computers, students and adults can play video games instead of studying or actually working. If you are a CEO and think a client is taking notes on his little computer, you may be surprised to find out he is playing Space Invaders instead.

I'm sorry, but this blog is so crappy I might have to print it and use it as toliet paper. A valid opinion on technology? Nowhere to be found. Obvious racist remarks and less-obvious comments representative of a white man who cannot cope with the fact that he may no longer rule the world? Abundant.

My question? If the blogger is so opposed to new technology because it only facilitates "illegal immigrants" and "welfare users," what the hell is he doing writing a blog?

Carolina:

Do you understand what "Satire" means?

Carolina:

Sorry if the article pissed you off. It was meant to make you laugh. It was a parody of Bill O'Reilly. I love technology and think that it is great! I'm getting that computer in the picture soon, by the way.

I know you were trying to be funny, but take a lesson from Imus. Remarks like that are not funny. Unless it's on a Saturday Night Live set with costuming and all, the parody and/or humor is totally not contextualized and comes off crass.
