    I'm still traumatized from that time the King snuck into my house undetected then shoved a whopper in my face. I screamed and screamed, and when i calmed down, I gave him a cool glass of lemonade and a copy of Fast Food Nation. Then I killed him, I killed him, I killed him dead.

    Everyone who truly cares about science fiction repeat after me:


    "I will ignore all attempts by marketing weasels to use science fiction tropes to sell me crap I don't need."


    Repeat this five times after seeing any drek like this and your advertising induced mental fog will lift.


    Aside from that preaching, it's a pretty silly commercial. But that's all it is. A commercial. Never forget this.

    So long as the machines can whip up some delicious seasoned fries with a chocolate malt, and then they allow me to eat it, there's not a whole lot for me to resist.

    I had a clear phone years ago. It had flashy lights too, that blinked when it rang. It wasn't a cell, but it's not like this is some revolutionary idea -- I've got a clear mini-calculator too.
