All Hope is Lost?

I''m having an internal debate regarding humanity's hope to escape idiocracy ... it's a back and forth discussion which I want to remember and come back to in the years to come.

1 step back ... the golden iPhone
For years iPhones have been a landmark of great design. Haters can call it snoby, elitistics or whatever they want, but it was a tasteful design ... until now. The GOLDEN Champagne iPhone is here ... yes, gold is not enough, it needs to be splattered by champagne ... let the poor people go cry to mommy ...

This thing appears to have been designed using insightful advice from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and that's not a good thing ... because these people are ... well ... f-ing idiots ... And the bigger problem is not that this phone exists, it is the fact that it will sell faster than turkeys on Thanksgiving ... people just love their Kim Kardashian ...  a sad day for human kind everywhere ...

2 steps back ... Hannah Montana gets naked
Lady Gaga, where are you? Nobody is even mentioning the fact you were as butt naked as physiologically possible in your last live performance ... Are you, sad sad joke of a performer, really finished? It certainly seems so, and I almost feel like jumping into my party-hat and dancing of joy ... almost ... Unfortunately, there's no party ... people are now talking about this wrecking ball:

I an quite sure that the discussion that lead to this youtube record-breaking event went something like this:
Manager: Miley, kids don't give too many f#$ks about you any more ... you're basically finished ...
Hannah Cyrus: But my singing ....
Manager: Miley ... you have your father's voice ... it's over ...
Hannah Cyrus: What if I got naked?
Manager: OK, let's go with that...

Same as before, the actual problem is not that there's a pathetic human being that does it ... the problem is that there are sooo many other people that support this type of idiotic behavior ... Yea, you're stupid and naked ... Shut up and take my money !!!!

... another sad day for human kind everywhere ...

1 step forward ... to outer space?
But wait !! Humanity is still doing some intelligent things ... Take this, for example. In a couple of years you might just be able to fly into outer space (kinda) on a commercial flight ... Here's a very recent video of Virgin Galactic firing up their rocket plane to supersonic speeds for the first time. In the final version planned for 2014 (yes, next year!!), the plane-ship will go 3 times higher than in this video ... looks very promising ....


Only problem ... passengers will be taking photos with their golden iPhones ... while listening to Hanna F-ing Montana ...

It seems like all hope is lost ... here's a cat video to raise your morale ...
