These horrible Facebook Phone commercials

[edhopper]

where someone ignores everyone around them, at family dinners and on dates in "boring" places like art museums, to stay glued to the vacuous content of social media.
The larger issue of the narcissistic nature of modern technological intercourse is brought to bear.

1. Obnoxious qualities being marketed as great qualities.

Besides, what a waste of time and money to go on a guided tour of a museum and not even pay attention.

2. And of course

looking at your friends screwing around on instagram is so much more important than great works of art, or the people you are with.

3. Because, in the end, nothing - NOTHING - matters except YOU, and what YOU do, and wear, and want

The world is just a big rock of YOU, orbiting a blazing mass of hydrogen which came into existence just so that YOU might be.



Fucking nauseating.

4. One wonders who this appeals to.

I don't think those who are obsessive about Facebook and social media see how self absorbed they are. But these commercials show people ignoring all those around them to be online. Do people really want to be that obnoxious?

5. Poor guy in the glasses. She's gonna break his heart.

Leave him for some superficial douche she met on facebook.

He'll be better off, though. But it sure won't feel that way at first. And it's getting harder and harder these days to find a romantic partner who is actually interested in the museum.

6. That's the idea.

Never produce content. That's too risky and expensive. Just insinuate yourself between people by selling the means to transmit the content they produce, and format the means of communication so that you get the most profit out of the least quantity of information.
