the smartphone wars...people. platforms. analysis.

You've come a long way baby. Come a few times, in fact. Come hard. On that ho from Duke with the powerpoint.

Everybody's talking about me. I can't hear a word they saying...

Seems like old media and new, online and off, have found a new plaything to wink wink and tut tut over. Namely, a highly public, highly visible, NSFW powerpoint of one young lady's sexual exploits during her senior year at Duke. More here: College Girl's Powerpoint Fuck List

With my typical aplomb, brevity and cleverness, I'll offer a few thoughts:

  1. As has always been the case, having money and brains do not mean you have class. Never forget that.
  2. It's a bummer that Google doesn't offer up more and better pictures of our subject
  3. In case you needed still more prooof, young women want to be fucked. They don't want to be made love to. She cannot make this any clearer, lads.
  4. She's only in her early 20s. We're men. We have to know: what's her mom look like?
  5. Men and women work together. Even if, maybe, men think more about sex then women, we all think about it. We all talk about it. We all imagine it. Can't we finally bury these silly sex discrimination lawsuits once and for all? Look, I'm all for going after a company that shows a pattern of discrimination against one of the two genders. But, fact is, I can't count the number of times I've been in a meeting or walking through an office and the young woman with her low-cut pants was clearly showing her thong underwear. Naturally, I think: would enjoy fucking her up the ass. Now, I'm not saying I or you should verbalize this but, if we do, I mean, it's the 21st century. Can't we be adults here? Slap on the wrist, maybe.
  6. Several commentators want to deliberately provoke you by trying to ignore the salacious details and unseemly violations inherent in this girl's presentation and instead talk about (wait for it...) empowerment. This may mean the commentator is an asshole but it doesn't negate the point of empowerment. Empowerment is one of the many reasons why our society, our culture is superior. Not empowering the abilities, brainpower, talents of women or a specific class(es) in society is dumb, probably immoral and limits that society's potential forever.
  7. Slightly related topic -- this is why I focus several posts on my site about children. For the first time in human history, the very tools that adults use for work and money and connectiivty and information and access are almost equivalently in the hands of the planet's children. If we continue to consign children to antiquated views of abilities, potential -- and imprison them in 1950s gulag-style learning institutions -- then we are, again, fundamentally, possibly immorally, limiting their's and our potential.

Lastly, as men are typically not so classless to put out a powerpoint about their sexual encounters, name names and send it out into the world. In case any of you women did not already know. No, there is nothing better you can do for us then get on your knees and suck our dicks. In case you were wondering.
