amazon nation

we are sailing steadily towards a bleak future, and we have recently passed the amazon prime reef and the fresh direct archipelago.
we will all look back on 2008 from our hoverchairs and think damn you pixar you were right.

i ordered a remote control for my ps3 and it's usually $25.
on amazon it was $19.
i paid $4 extra to ensure next-day delivery and it's still cheaper than going to a physical store.

no wonder america is fat.

and yes, i'm aware of the irony in this scenario. complaining that americans are obese while i order a device that controls a machine from 5 feet away.

this problem is equivalent to itching your neck because your throat is sore. your esophagus or trachea is the inflamed/scratched area and poking at your skin is a fruitlessly valiant attempt to correct a problem that can only be solved internally.
america needs to take some metaphorical cough drops or drink some soothing figurative herbal tea.
at the very least, cut down on yelling and drinking heavily.
attention whore!
