Review of LG GT365 mobile phone

Wed, 05 May 2010 12:58:47 +0000

Short review: The LG GT365 mobile phone fucking sucks.

Long review: Upon careful review and extensive (theoretical, attempted) use, mcgees.org has determined that the LG GT365 really really really fucking sucks.

Summary: Figuratively, the LG GT365 “phone” is a “fucking piece of shit”.  Literally, the LG GT365 is a bundle of electronic components that, one assumes, is supposed to do something useful, but may beneficially be replaced by an actual piece of shit, which at least has the advantage of not costing eighty motherfucking dollars.

I got a new, cheap 7.1 megapixel camera, which I think will pay for itself in increased eBay sales.  Here is one of my first pictures, when Sebastian offered to help test the “Macro” mode:

The PowerSquid, one of the most clever products in history, is now available with a <1 nanosecond response-time, 540 joule surge suppressor.  List price is $34.95; the store Affordable Home Electronics has* it for $9.44 and low shipping.

* Happy, Dave?  I arranged the sentence so that I could use a singular verb.
