On a Best Buy commercial I just saw, this guy shows off the new Samsung TV that you can run apps on. At one point, he addresses the camera and positively beams as he says:
“You can tell everyone: ‘Hey, I just Tweeted…from my couch!’”
And then presumably everyone will say: “Well, yeah. I did too. Because seriously where the fuck else would you do it from, besides literally wherever you’re standing if you do it on your phone, which is actually kind of a bigger, more-impressive thing when you really think about it. See, I can just go like this with my phone and LOOK- I’ve already Tweeted, while you, if you want to Tweet from your couch but do it on your TV instead of on your phone or laptop, the way people have been doing it since the very dawn of Twitter, you would have to turn on your TV and then go to the main menu and scroll down until you find the Twitter app, and then you’d have to wait for it to load up, and then you’d have to type your Tweet out on your remote control, which would take 9 minutes. Don’t brag about stupid things.”
And then you’d be like: “Damn you, affable everyman Best Buy salesman. Damn you and your enthusiasm.”
