Glen Beck Craziness Over Consoles

Yes, I know important is spelled wrong, thats the point.

I don’t understand why people have religious like loyalties to a corporate brand. If someone so much a mentions why Leopard is superior to Windows Vista its an instant flame fest. For what ever reason I have the feeling that people treat operating systems like belief systems. There is something so tribal about how people angrily debate one another. Like a pack of dogs attacking a wounded alpha male. They are just products, so whats the big deal? Each company wants your money and they have two different ways of going after it.

The same thing has like sprung to life with OnLive. Just crazy nonsense people are spewing, its just insane. Consumers contrive the most bullshit, stupid arguments you will ever hear. Now, I’m not talking about skeptics, frankly I’m a little skeptical too. No, I’m talking the crazy elitism coming from respected sources or people like GameDaily or Dave Perry. Geez, its just a product, the goal of any product is to make money. I don’t get what is so hard to understand about that.

Its like we’ve gotten the point where operating systems and game consoles are more than just products. They are like relics, which is crazy like Glen Beck. The goal of any company regardless of if its non-profit or not is to make money. People get offended like when I tell their grandmother in a coma is cyborg, or a fetus is a humanoid parasite. While both of those are true, morality tells them otherwise even if its wrong. But, come on, a product is a product.

For you nay sayers about what a parasite actually is, dictionary: Something that resembles a biological parasite in dependence on something else for existence or support without making a useful or adequate return. Any organism that relies on a machine is a cyborg. Morally offensive or not, its the truth.

Now thats something you can truly be offended by. Not some possibility of a product being better than its competition. How great of marketing is that? You make a product that becomes part of someones moral fabric. Crazy, crazy like Glen Beck.
