Banality.

There's a new ad campaign for a company called HTC that reminds me a lot of an old ad campaign for a company called HP. But, I guess that's besides the point.

When I stumble across a line like this: "You Don't Need to Get a Phone. You Need a Phone That Gets You" I want to plotz.

Maybe it's my New York, Jewish, aging baby-boomer egocentricity, but my wife and therapist hardly get me, how the heck will a phone.

And what does it mean that a phone gets me, anyway? It blocks calls from my mother? It calls for a well-done meatball pie when I'm hungry.
