Overly litigious society reaches its climax as man sues Apple for porn addiction

Lawyer Sues Apple for Porn

Chris Sevier, a 36 year-old man, is suing Apple for failing to warn him that the internet is filled with porn. See, after Chris unpacked and plugged-in his bright, new, shiny computer-device-thingamajig from the mall, he tried to visit Facebook.com, pressed a few wrong keys, and whoops, ended up at Fuckbook.com. Common mistake. Happens all the time. Each time I try to visit my keyboard turns into a treacherous obstacle course worthy of a game show. But just for a second, imagine Chris’ surprise when his innocent, virginal eyes found in place of the photos of filet mignon and selfies he was expecting, he was faced with images of breasts, vajayjays, and a whole new world of self… discovery. See, poor Chris didn’t know that the entire internet is for porn. Chris is after all… well, what’s the opposite of an Apple Genius?

I know what you’re saying. Sounds fishy. How could this guy really not know that porn is readily available at nearly every stop along the information super highway? That’s impossible. Does this guy live under a rock or something? Close, Tennessee

Xvideos.com, a site that I’ve never heard of as far as you know, receives 4.4 billion page views per month, 3X more than CNN or ESPN. Well, Wolf my Blitzer!

Well, you can figure out where the story goes from there – boy meets self, boy and self fall deeply in love, boy and self develop large hand calluses. It’s like every Nora Ephron movie ever made, am I right? Actually, Chris became so enamored with the lovely ladies of the net that he lost interest in his wife. She left him and now Chris can’t work… ‘cause that would be… wait, why can’t he work again? Oh right. He’s dumb.

But where others might see an opportunist using our judicial system as his personal playground, jerking the system around in order to pull off an unlikely cash load from a major corporation, rubbing many people the wrong way in the process, I see a hero.

This man is the Rosa Parks of internet porn, people. This man saw that his rights were being infringed upon and said, “No, I’m not to blame. Not me. I can’t control my own behavior.” And I applaud him for it. After all, just because you have an unquenchable thirst for self-pleasure doesn’t mean you have to also believe in self-responsibility. I mean, the last I checked this was still America! For the first time in his life, Chris is actually performing a selfless act, as he puts himself out there, willing to take an unbearable amount of shit from anyone that knows him for the rest of his life, just so you won’t have to!

I know. I don’t buy it either. The guy’s an idiot. Why would he drag Apple into his perverted little world? What does that company have to do with his insatiable desire for Rosey Palm and the Five Fingers? Nothing to any sane person, obviously. Blaming Apple for this guy’s inability to temper his self-love is like blaming Chevrolet for traffic.

Chris Sevier vs. Apple LawsuitSpeaking of traffic, according to DigitalJournal, 30% of all internet traffic is porn related. ExtremeTech reports that porn sites dominate the top 500 sites on the internet, and the top porn site, Xvideos.com, a site that I’ve never heard of as far as you know, receives 4.4 billion page views per month, 3x more than CNN or ESPN. Well, Wolf my Blitzer!

Another one of the big differences between porn and non-porn sites, besides the obvious, is the average duration of a user’s visit. For the top news sites, an average visit is between three to six minutes. On Xvideos.com, the average user time spent on the site is about 20 minutes, but a lot of that is just clean up.

As ExtremeTech reports, “In short, porn sites cope with astronomical amounts of data. The only sites that really come close in term of raw bandwidth are YouTube or Hulu, but even then YouPorn is something like six times larger than Hulu.” They sure do give good data, huh?

But porn isn’t just an online experience. Humans have been flogging the dolphin since the dawn of time. When’s the last time you looked at a hieroglyph, huh? Some of them are so trashy they make this guy blush. We’re animals. We’ll do it anytime, anywhere. Just ask the passengers on this guy’s bus entering New York. Apparently, something about entering the Lincoln Tunnel turned him on. Next stop, Yankee Stadium!

AT&T just made it a lot easier to upgrade your phone

Do you want to upgrade your phone more than once a year? What about three times a year? Are you on AT&T? If you answered yes to those questions, then AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” early upgrade program is made for you. With this add-on, you’ll be able to upgrade your phone three times a year for just $10 extra every month. It will be available starting July 16.

Currently, AT&T has its “Next Up” add-on, which has been available for the past several years. This program costs $6 extra per month and lets you upgrade by trading in your existing phone after at least half of it is paid off. But the new Next Up Anytime option gives you some more flexibility.

The Nokia 3210 is the worst phone I’ve used in 2024

Where do I even start with the Nokia 3210? Not the original, which was one of the coolest phones to own back in a time when Star Wars: Episode 1 -- The Phantom Menace wasn’t even a thing, but the latest 2024 reissue that has come along to save us all from digital overload, the horror of social media, and the endless distraction that is the modern smartphone.

Except behind this facade of marketing-friendly do-goodery hides a weapon of torture, a device so foul that I’d rather sit through multiple showings of Jar Jar Binks and the gang hopelessly trying to bring back the magic of A New Hope than use it.
The Nokia 3210 really is that bad
