A brilliany demonstration of logical thinking to a really logical conclusion.

I am reminded of a conversation quoted on FaceBook:

Him: Pass me the newspaper please!

Her: Don't be so old-fashioned, use my iPad!

Spider didn't know what the fuck hit it!
The Holy Bible, probably the most diabolical work of fiction ever to be visited upon mankind.

An it harm none, do what you will; an it harm some, do what you must!

Funny, but I can't say laugh-out-loud?  I've probably heard and/or seen comparable adverts/stories doing the rounds over the last 30 or 40 years.  Sometimes its for modes of transport; other times, its for various forms of communication.
Are your, or your friends'/relatives', garages, lofts or sheds full of unused DIY gear, sewing/knitting machines or fabric and haberdashery stuff?

Post us some links, then we can compare?

I can say laugh out loud because it did make me laugh out loud.

Unlikely, iPads have only been around for six years.

Which nicely calls Hope's pompous bluff!

Which is why I referred to compoarable adverts - adverts for other technological developments like TVs, phones, computers, etc.  I have nothing against you finding it funny - but wondered where you've been in the past when these other adverts have been doing the rounds?
