Tech Best Misuses of Modern Technology Awards
Posted by Kevin "the Intern" Otzenberger on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 1:57 PM
Society progresses. Humanity evolves. The industrial revolution continues to bear the technological fruits of our most brilliant minds. But even the smartest monkey still flings a turd, once in a while. Here's a toast to those who have gone above and beyond, recently, in finding irresponsible and hilarious ways to exploit the brilliance of our inventors.
First, I'd like to recognize Finland, for producing this guy.
The last award of the afternoon goes to the Snuggie Sutra blog project, which just released a distasteful coffee table book about having sex in a blanket with sleeves.
If you'd like to nominate somebody for an award, please submit links for corresponding horrible videos and articles to the comment box, and I'll judge them based on personal favoritism and bribes.
