Several things.
Broadcast TV. That can fuck right off. The move to digital has finally given me the impetus to sack Virgin media. While I buy the odd series on DVD, I've got absolutely fed up of the ad-ridden shitcast that is television.

Sport. Any and all of it. If every sportsman on the face of the planet was turned into gray goo tomorrow I'd jump for joy. The whole grunting, addled, soap-opera of football is a particular offender.

The iphone. Yes, it's a mobile device. Yes, there's apps for it. No, I'm not fucking interested. If I want to e-mail, I'll use a device with a keyboard, TYVM. If I want to browse the web, I'll do it on my network at home. If I ever absolutely need the internet when I'm out and about I may as well just an hero at the sheer pointlessness of existence.

Babies. Wailing shit machines. If anyone out there has ever brought one of these pink screaming tubes in to work to show your colleagues, just fucking kill yourself.

[Bracing for shitstorm] Games consoles. Meh. A good PC setup will wipe the floor, costs less overall, and does more. A friend bought a PS3 about a year ago, and was rhapsodising over the multiplayer aspect of the then-current version of Unreal - I forget which. Stifling a yawn, I asked the wrong question - isn't this the same thing we've had on the PC since the late 1990s?

Social Networking sites. Yes, I've taken a look. No, I'm not giving my personal data online. Do not want. Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, and all that other bollocks can disappear in a puff of smoke for all I care. Waste of electrons. At least on B3ta you get cock jokes.

Mobile internet
phones. Indeed. NOTHING...there can be NOTHING that important that you need to lookup/wank off to, that you need the Internet in the street.

...and I'm a geek.

Bar room bet about sport/music/etc. + Wikipedia on mobile phone = instant resolution & money changing hands
But granted, any tatty old Nokia will do that, you don't need an iPhone.

iPhones
Marcus Brigstocke pointed out that people who claim to be using an iPhone look like they're wanking gerbils.

I take great joy in telling iPonces this.

You've just earned a click
for the term "iPonces".

I may need to steal that one.

You Bastard!
Now I've got nothing to contribute to this QOTW! You've covered all my topics, to perfection. Now how am I supposed to be 'Best'? (Click)
