Hey, we love a good cat fight as much as the next guy. And if anyone should get into a hair pulling, face-clawing, blood-on-the-floor tussle, it might as well be Apple and Verizon.
Verizon has taken a shot at Apple with a clever commercial titled "iDon't" that points out everything its new Android 2.0-powered phone, The Motorola Droid, does that the iPhone does not.
The Droid Web site, on the other hand, looks like it was constructed by the Arnold Schwarzenneger character from Terminator 1 (not the lovable Teutonic hero of Terminators 2 & 3). And then there's the rather ambitious claim they appear to be making:
You betcha. And if it vibrated at precisely 200 kilohertz, we'd be singing "Jizz in My Pants."
However, we'll believe that claim the day our cell phones a) fix our traffic tickets, b) get us laid, or c) explain to our significant other(s) how we managed to get laid when they weren't in the room.
Also, the name: Droid is just a little too close to the 'Noids, that execrable marketing campaign Dominoes Pizza foisted on us in the late '80s. We've been Avoiding the Noids -- and Dominoes -- ever since.
Still, anyone willing to make fun of Apple, thus taking some of the heat off us, is OK in our book. In fact, we liked the idea so much we made our own little list of things we at eSarcasm don't or won't do.
... eat other people's filth (unless it's high-quality imported filth)
... give even the tiniest shit about Jon and Kate Gosselin
... believe anything Michael Arrington writes unless he's got a station wagon full of nuns as witnesses, and the nuns have all passed lie detector tests, and they can prove they're really nuns and not just guys dressed up like nuns
... party with Lindsay Lohan (and not just because she hasn't asked us to yet)
... pretend our six-year-old son is piloting a helium balloon at 10,000 feet when we've really just stashed him inside a cardboard box in the attic
... name any child 'Falcon' (heck, why not Fairlane or Taurus?)
... vomit and/or fart loudly on national television (but there's still time)
... post nude pix of ourselves on Flickr. Isn't that why God invented MySpace?
... speculate over which no-name actor/model/general douchebag is statutorily "not having sex" with Miley Cyrus
... have posters of Megan Fox on our cubicle walls*
... DM Ashton Kutcher on Twitter
... claim to be close personal friends with Ashton Kutcher just because he responded to one of our DMs (OK, we lied)
... understand why anyone over the age of 12 ever reads Digg
... use the word "manscape"
... practice any form of Tantric sex. If that's what you need, call up Sting. We're sure he'd be happy to oblige after he's done manscaping
... watch any program that uses the word "cougar" in its title and isn't on Animal Planet
... post photos of much hotter guys on Hot or Not and pretend they're us
... actually know what 'fo shizzle ma nizzle' means
... purchase any fragrance based on a character from "Sex and the City." Whatever that smells like cannot be good
... attend launch parties for mediocre operating systems
... cream our jeans over every new fucking cell phone to hit the market
... own iPhones. Not that they aren't cool and all. But there's no way we're paying AT&T $80 a month for anything
Is there anything you don't do? Post them below.
* But only because we don't have cubicles.
