I couldn't help thinking, actually, Diane, this madness is as American as it gets. How clueless do you have to be say that this behavior is foreign to America. Absurd, conspicuous, horribly misguided materialism.
Can't get more than 50% of eligible voters to the polls, let alone get anyone to sign up for military duty, but they'll line up in droves at midnight for a $600 PS3 that only feeds detachment and isolation.
Service to country, civic duty, fuck no. PS3, hell yeah.
Maybe the Army could use the PS3 as a recruitment tool. I saw plenty of fighting age men in line for these electronic idiot boxes that let them play war.
Why not go for real reality guys? Some real war? Some real guns, IEDs, and bullets? Instead of that fake reality the PS3 provides? There are plenty of troops who want to come home.
As far as I'm concerned, any troops coming home that want a PS3 should get them instead of the fake warriors lining up like sheep to pay $600 for some machine that provides alternate reality, instead of actually, you know, living their lives and creating their own reality.
Our troops deserve a break from the reality of war. The knuckleheads lining up for PS3s?
Not so much.
