    I was just curious. If you download an app and it gets "yanked" does the version on your phone stop working or get deleted next time you sync? #eyetviphoneapp

    I hear Pepsi's also working on an app to generate disingenuous apologies for when you offend your gf, have to apologize, but don't really mean it.

    Looks like they're getting ready to release.

    @pettiblay: this type of shit is insidious, and it can do damage. I'm a brown guy, and after 9/11 there was lots of anti-muslim talk. Most of it didn't bother me, because it was letting off steam. But when i heard it on npr's prarie home companion, it really got to me, b/c it felt like there was NOBODY who cared, and it was only get worse.

    So when pepsi comes out with an app that mildly insults women as sexual objects, it can be more hurtful than anything Howard Stern says.

    @nutbastard: I'm no mathamagician, but wouldn't adding 2 to 136 (I'm sorry, adding 2 2 136) equal about 13, and therefore be less than 140? I would like for you to check my math on this, because I went to an arts school and have a BFA in theater.

    The app is for comedic purposes. Anyone who actually downloaded the app can tell that none of these "tips" will work. They are just there for shits and giggles. Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is. I'm almost certain that if Dasani Water, or SlimFast made an app that showed women how to pick up men, we wouldn't have a problem.

    It's comedy people, some will find it funny, some won't. You don't have to download it and you sure as hell don't have to acknowledge it. Move on.

    My friend just came back into town and has an iphone. It's pretty annoying how often he is checking it, texting, etc. Nothing says fun like sitting there staring at the wall while your friend is locked in on his phone for 1-2 minutes every 5 minutes.

    Any apology that was sent via Twitter and includes two instances of the number 2 as "to" doesn't really fly in my book.

    That said, I thought it was humorous. But yeah, checking your iPhone several times during a date won't help your case, regardless of what information you've suddenly just learned.
