Naked pictures unite the world.
So PC Magazine, kind and diligent webizens that they are, just alerted me to the practice of Moblogging. Just in case I'm not the only person who's been living in a cave for the past year, Moblogging is the practice of posting pics taken with your cell-phone camera on a sort of internet journal. I checked out a Moblogging site, and yep, it seems that at least half of these pictures are of people naked.
(No, I'm not going to tell you which site I looked at, you horny bastards... Do your own research.)
Anyway, I was going to write a bit about how ridiculous it was that this is what people do with their cell-phone cameras, but then I stopped to think about it. You know, I really don't blame them.
I mean, what are we supposed to do with these useless little cameras? It's not as if they're any good for real photography - they're about as lo-res as you can get. Even a 20-year old Polaroid land camera takes better pictures than these things. And almost as quickly too. So what we have is a tiny speedy little camera that takes pics cheaply (I mean, the phones are pricey, but you don't have to buy film, etc.) and can go with you anywhere. So the purpose of this groundbreaking technology is what?
My buddy Joe has one of these. We broke it out in the office a few times, and all we did with it was take silly pictures of stupid shit. Nostrils and teeth, funny faces, etc. No, none of us were naked, but it hardly matters. Nose hairs or boobies, the point is the same:
The internet is for porn, Microwaves are for re-heating (not cooking) and cell-phone cameras are for the express purpose of taking silly pictures of stupid shit.
Now, you may think I'm against this. You may think this is one of those blog entries where I'm protesting the decline of western civilization. But in truth, I'm all for the silly pictures of stupid shit. It means that no matter what advances we come up with, no matter what new technologies emerge, the true innovation is reserved for pure, blind entertainment. And no matter how hi-brow we try to be, entertainment really boils down to fart jokes and nudity.
And really, isn't that comforting to know? Me and George Bush and Donald Trump and Saddam Hussein may not see eye to eye on a whole lot, but if you fart in front of us, deep down we're all giggling like little girls.
And if you whip out a boob, we're all reaching for our cell-phone cameras.
