"This will change how we live"
 

Urge's "Big Change" thread made me think about this:
There are tons of things, it seems every year now, that make the news, or in some other way are presented to us as things that will "Change the world, revolutionize how we do *insert whatever*", but then fizzle and fade into obscurity, inevitably becoming a witty reference for one o fthose jack-offs on VH1.


First few that come to mind:
The Segway
digital actors (Final Fantasy movie....)
Crystal Pepsi

scaredyet.net:eek:

fanny packs


"does this make me look gay ?"

You bastard....

Believe me, if i had the segway's financial backing, it would get more attention. this damn "work" and family thing doesnt allow me a lot of free time.

the clapper !

Anything with the word "Fanny" in it sounds gay...

"Fanny Farmer" sounds like a gay guy with a harem.

Of course "Ass-pack" doesnt sound any better....

heh ,, this coming from an ass-packer !

crystal pepsi??
:confused:

identity theft

oh wait, we're still worried about that.

the internet

the internet has been the single biggest most impactful change in decades.



so .. you were joking... right ?

heyyyyyyyyyy thats a good idea..
and i wish someone would invent phones
you can carry around and allows you to ring anywhere in the world.. :D

Pfft, when did the internet ever do anybody any good?

i just downloaded Clerks II


thats all i need to say about that.

exactly




-

The WII - It'll change the way we game, anyhows.
Genetic modification in food - when accepted largely, it'll do us some good.

and i got to read your last post !

I bought some meat at the store the other day, and they gave it to me in a baggie that had a ZIPPER in it... not a regular lock top- a freakin PLASTIC ZIPPER.

Did you eat it or wear it?

I have been using the Glad zipper bags with the actual zipper for a while now and have been impressed. We had a cut cucumber last a month in one. Those things usually only have a few days in them.

An ill-fated idea back in the mid 90s where they started sellingpepsi without the caramel coloring. Most if not all sodas are perfectly clear without artificial colors getting added. I think their #1 mistake was actually changing the flavor rather than just excluding the color. It sold pretty well, it just wasnt that good, so once the curiosity factor had passed, the sales plummeted.

it kindo ftasted like gummy cola bottles, but in a carbonated drink, which is not aas good as it sounds.

oooh....did you get the colour coded zippers..
they are pretty .

and my..i love what you have done with your hair :D

wow..we never got that over here.
but shit..we have just started getting dr pepper coke
and its real expensive..for a coke that is .

man boobs...women are more suspicious of the phenomena...

Boobs are an area where it think it is best left to the ladies. If men want a pair, then can go find a nice lady friend to share hers for a while.

honestly though
whats so significant about a man having boobs??
why do they have them at all..??
what the hell does a man do with his boobs??
:o

disgusts anyone and everyone who sees him without a shirt.

so true...

somebody plz invent a coffee cup that never empties

I've got it!!!


The end to egotism!!!


Oh wait... That dream must've come with all the shit I did at uni.

Damn college education...makes one all optimistic about changing the world and shit:D

Yeah, and the thing is, you've gotta be faster than all of the other nit-wits trying to change the world for their own stuid devices.:D :D

By the way, your son is really cute.:)

Have you noticed a lack of common sense with these kids?
I just had a discussion with someone about the new RN's and they seem to be trained well but don't have a clue about anything not covered in the books!
Crazy.


Thanks for the compliment on my lil pug :) (yes I know... I also call him 'puppy' alot)

Yeeep, sometimes, ya just gotta think outside the box.
