Same with cellphones, just sell me one that makes a fucking phone call without dropping out in mid converfuckingsation.
I see all these chumps walking around the dealership with these brand new $600 I-phones, which will be $29.99 with activation by years end.
I'm with Roadbike Mankie on this one. Once again, feverishly having to have the latest, coolest, worthless thing smacks of the eighth grade. I don't even own a cell phone. Plus, the iPod has that stupid, piece of shit, trendy, sterile, simple design. People who own iPods are merely sheep.

Yeah. The teachings of the world according to Confuscius Spice.

Thanks for the reactionary verbal diahrrea.
What really smacks of the 8th grade is your parrot-like recitation of of these idiotic pseudo-socialist concepts.
How did you ever come up with such radical theories….by reading the liner notes of a Crass album?

In principle, I tend to agree with you.
However, my wife got me a modest sized (by boardie standards) ipod for my 40th birthday, and now that she is home with the child and I'm taking the Metro all alone (we used to ride together), having 80 albums or so to choose from every day makes the ride much more bearable.
And I never had a cell phone until now, either. But she insists that we need them in case of emergency. With a pay as you go plan, it's only about $100 per phone per year, plus the initial $20 investment. We may cut back to one phone. I'm definitely not a cell phone kind of guy, but if it makes her happy, I'll happily live with it.

Yup…I never had a cellphone until the wifey was getting close to the due date for our first.

I don't know about Karl Marx but I used to really be into Consolidated and "Generation Terrorists"-era Manic Street Preachers.
