Brainy Devices and the UnFun World

Hot on the heels is an article on what theyre calling “brainy devices”. Whats up with the standard boring world these people, so-called “designers” getting paid so much to make boring stuff even more boring? Its like, they just decide, “well just make the boring stuff”. What kind of business model is that? the boring kind? They should just use the vernacular and call em what they rilly iz: a blatant attempt to reinstate the Sirius Cybernetic Corporation, those guys who were the first against the wall when the revolution came, and who were responsible for the heinous Genuine People Personalities, the Happy Vertical People Transporter, and the “share and enjoy” aesthetic:

1. Share and Enjoy
2. Share and Enjoy
3. Journey through life
4. With a plastic boy
5. Or Girl by your side
6. Let your pal be your guide
7. And when it breaks down
8. Or starts to annoy
9. Or grinds when it moves
10. And gives you no joy
11. Cos it’s eaten your hat
12. Or had sex with your cat
13. Bled oil on your floor
14. Or ripped off your door
15. You get to the point
16. You can’t stand any more
17. Bring it to us, we won’t give a fig
18. We’ll tell you, ‘Go stick your head in a pig’.
