I don't really need to say more than that.

But is it worse that someone coined a term about it? Or that two people wrote a book about it? Or that CNN thought it was actually a worthy story to publish... anywhere? Or that I actually clicked on it?

I like John Stewart's pointing out on how the President getting a burger was somehow breaking news on CNN...

Umm...its CNN and thats what you get for looking at their website. What do you expect from them...real news? They are the same as FOX news, biased propaganda.

That said, I dont see anything wrong with the article per se. Like it or not, cellphones are the new phone, and landlines MAY completely disappear in our lifetime, kinda like the typewriter. "Fluff" news stories draw more hits than real news.

The landline is dead, as far as I'm concerned. There's just no reason for them anymore.

Just unbutton your pants. Trust me, you'll go a lot farther if you're trying to get 'into his heart.'
