I have this theory. Not supported by facts. Just a gut
feeling
Cell phones will kill us all.
Dead.
It’s not as if they haven’t warned us about them for years. Notice
how a cell phone has helped to make this woman completely oblivious to violent
horrors. This one starts so sexy you worry about your mother walking in, but trust me, stick around and you'll see what I mean.
Not only are they distracting us. They will start to kill us.
They might rain death from the sky:
Be used as weapons to kill each other while Britney Spears
sings in the background.
Or, hell, they might just start shooting though the
atmosphere and kill left and right in what is not even the most ridiculously
violent cell phone commercial I’ve seen. Considering the events of the last few weeks, I'm betting people at Motorola wish they'd never done this one. In fact, I have trouble believing it's a real ad or someone's spoof. It's got to be a spoof, right? Right? I'm too lazy to find out.
This observation was prompted by seeing an ad a few weeks ago
where the guy’s heart was replaced by a cell phone or something. It's called Droid DNA, and if this shit doesn't scare you, I don't know what will
Now, there's a fucking reason that this shit did not fly in the Matrix universe. Yet here it is presented as some sort of "bonus" to your cell phone prowess. What the shit sort of universe do we live in now where we are meant to identify with the smug guys who share shit between their phones like video of santa falling off a stair banister and really messing his internal organs so bad his mother wouldn't recognize them (sidenote: Little known fact, we are all just little organ farms for our parents, so they are very familiar with them)
I’ve always wondered what the hell is up with uber violent ads for cell phones, or creepy ads where computer arms interact with the phones. I don’t know what the hell these ads are trying to say that’s positive. They seem more like a warning.

I avoided cell phones until I had to get one for a job. Then
I’ve kept it low tech. I have a dumb phone. I don’t use it to go online. I use
it to call and text. Sometimes I take really crappy pics with it, but beyond
that, nothing. I enjoy having a cell phone, but don’t care about the high tech
ones.
I was at lunch with coworkers and one of the more tech saavy
guys saw me pull out my phone to check the time, and made a comment about being
old school. Yes. And when your phones start to kill you or the rest of
humanity, I will be here, hiding.
