Pumped

Gas pumps are so much fun lately.

If it's not bad enough that the Arabs are drilling us in the ass because the hippies don't want us drilling our own oil, now we have another indignity foisted upon us. Microsoft, together with a partner company, is marketing a new device to be imbedded into gas pumps, one which will display full-motion commerical advertisements, try to sell you MP3 files and lottery tickets, and even spit coupons at you.

Now we can't even get screwed in relative peace. Ain't technology grand?

Holy fuelfudger! Now we are going to be tortured with more commercials at the pump no less. Maybe the advertisers can cover some of the cost of the fuel to watch these idiotic marketing campaigns. I hope the afterlife isn't sponsered by Microsoft, IBM, or Coke and Pepsi.
