marketing?

what on earth were the people at nintendo thinking when they named their new system the “wii”?

“hey … anybody wanna come over and play with my wii?”

ecological irony

i was driving on i-84 today and i passed a guy driving a toyota prius. because i like watching people, and because i’m interested in hybrid cars, i always try to scope out who’s driving a prius when i see one go by.

this one had a guy huffing and puffing on a cigarette and flicking his ashes out the window.

there’s a certain sense of irony in someone caring enough about the earth to drive a hybrid vehicle, yet not caring enough about the earth to refrain from flicking his ashes all over connecticut, and not caring enough about his own health to stop slowly poisoning himself.
