Haha!  They've done that sort of thing once before (that I know of).  What was it?  Now I can't remember.

I am not sure what they tackled before.

This article could apply to the many number of fads that we seem to get obsessed with. Currently it is 3D.

What I meant was that they did a generic/template story like this once before (at least).  It was funny then too.

Something to do with the new and greatest technology becoming obsolete within a month of the next newest and greatest technology.

In my younger, more innocent days I might have continued this conversation.

I generally like their humor.  I found none at all in that piece.  It's powerfully written, though.  Hammers its point across.
