BAD COMMERCIALISM.
External link:
There is this new Sony Handycam that records directly onto DVD's, and on the commercial, they show a little girl and her family watching an embarrassing video she shot of her brother telling his girlfriend how much she means to him. And I'm sure we've all seen those commercials for those camera phones, where someone transmits an embarrassing picture of the recipient's boyfriend making a mess of himself at a diner. And you've probably seen the one showing the recipient's toothbrush being used for something disgusting before the recipient brushed his teeth with it.
So, what's going on? Are there so few practical things that you can do with these devices, that all they can think of as a demonstration is to show people humiliating each other? And the truth is, I really can't think of too many situations where I would need a camera on my phone, unless I was a spy. What do people do with these things?
