Next Stop Wonderland

You see? Those people are EXACTLY why I don’t join online communities.

On my Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer, all those crazy people are fun to laugh at, because I can turn them off when I’m done. But in the real world? If they were my neighbors or something? I’d be trapped in that cuckoo clock playground trying to figure out which glowing green squiggle is the handle to the exit door.

See, with a Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer, I’m able to jump on the web and get updates without needing to drag around a laptop or PC. It’s like the difference between a little radio and some big home theater stereo, and around Mother’s Day there’s going to be a new web browser app so I can surf the web and even set up my Dash without a PC.

I can shave in the bathroom and stream Pandora or my own MP3s, I can cook dinner and use the Martha’s Everyday Food app to help me out, I can even check my email and get the sports scores from my nightstand. And since I can use it independent of my real computer, I can pretend I didn’t get the message about the midnight irony fest to which my “friend” invited me. Thanks for the offer to play “no-pants darts” on Monday night, dude, sorry I missed out because I “left my laptop at the office” by accident. Using the Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer, I plain don’t have to deal with a handful of crazies who doesn’t take anything seriously. Like, what is that they’re doing there, golf? Is any businessman alive is going to play golf when he can’t even see the hole in front of him?

Look, fun is fun, but I don’t want some Facebook virus getting on my work computer. That’s why all my goofin’ around happens on the Sony Dash Personal Internet Viewer. It’s really all I need to insult those “digital culture” lunatics from a safe distance. What is that they’re in, Disneyland? Hey, Green Lantern, just tell me how the Yankees did and let me get on with my life, okay?
