Industry people already know their shows suck.

Now this.
Subway patrons beware. The whole damn magazine is coming your way the first time I come across one of these things.

Is it possible to reach 100% commercial saturation? At a certain point, can I just have some fucking ad exec garnish my wages and leave me the fuck alone?

And I'm happy I did, because the iphone had a pink case. That's a sign of evil.

Ever wonder what it was like when you left the office at 5pm and becam instantly unavailable to your work life? Remember your first "answering machine" at home? Wasn't THAT long ago folks.
Crackberries, phones, Ipods, etc. are wreaking havoc with society. I have a phone AND a healthy business (wholesale) and I reserve my "screen time" to when noone else is around or when I am supposed to be communicating with another human being.
I have a neighbor who even answers his door at home with his device in hand, and on the weekends and is typing constantly in to it. Also, just completed "Grand" Jury Duty and there were several young (20's) folks typing while important testimony was being given pertaining to someone's freedom or lack thereof. And no, the court officer did not stop them.
Personally, i don;t know why anyone would want to be so "accessible" to anyone and everyone. There seems to be no down-time and one is constantly wired. I have heard young shildren complain about their parents always being on the phone or other device and it bothers them.
What a sad circumstance of modern life. I'll bet if you took a look at most of the transmissions, they would all be garbage. Except for the few true business "emergencies" (whatever that means) and informational exchanges.
I speak to and sociualize with many, and I have yet to hear anything THAT fascinating come out of anyone's mouth, so I know they are not saving any of the "gems" for the texts, e-mails and the like. Plus, I get so many laughs at the spelling, grammar and sentence composition of some people. Like 4th graders. It is so annoying to walk down the street and see everyone staring in to some sort of screen.
Add up the time you check e-mails, answer them, check texts, surf the net, etc. That is an awful lot of time to have recently
gone awol. Surely productivity is suffering.

Have you visited anyplace in the U.S. outside of NYC, LA, and fly-over Ritz Carltons? Many of us enjoy time with our families* and turn off our Blackberrys after work. You're cordially invited to dinner at the Fantastic household anytime you're in the area. I'm sure that Ms. Fantastic would be happy to set another place at the table.
Sincerly, C. Fantastic
P.S. Don't bring the hubby or kids.
P.P.S. I hope you like macaroni and cheese.
*Not trying to imply that those of you in NYC and LA don't spend time with your families. But apparently Gwyneth's NYC/LA family/friends don't.

And I adore Gwyneth, and am not ashamed to say so. The vitriol about her at Jezebel is insane. I think they're just jealous.
