Fast and hot. We want it fast, we want it hot, and we want it now. How better to do that than to have a tiny microwave you can carry with it’s own handle. Hell you can even adapt that crap to work in your car to make more jalepeño poppers or easy macs than your fat, too much money-not-enough-patience-having-ass can handle.

This is the theme here. We have money, We have time. We have no self-constraint.

After you’re asked to turn off all electronics and portable devices, you’re left with chit-chat, the book you brought, or Skymall.

WTF?!

Who buys this garbage? How are they in business? Why in the world would anyone want, or need half of the crap in there?

Surely, these questions will only be answered in rapture. Skymall, it seems to be a sign of it’s impending threat. We are so entrenched in consumption that even as we ascend to 30,000 feet, we need to shop apparently. While the idea that terrorists “hate us for our freedom” has been raised, it is suspect. And if they don’t hate us for that, I could see how they could.

It’s to a point now where we apparently need stairs for the dog to access the bed. We need a chair to hang off our truck. We absolutely, need to do a doorway puppet show and we have to do it now.

Please come back to see how Skymall is enlightening us with the products that bring convenience, extravagance, and absurdity to what once was our simple lives.
