Stupid starts causing people to buy stuff - should we be following them, an introspection

Ever since the iPad launched in the states, there's been a worldwide demonstration of this device. The iPad - described by one of the famous techies as "a giant sized iPhone,on whom playing race would seem stupid" has actually become a thing of envy for people. And the reason for this - their favorite star is showing off the product(it doesn't matter for them if they even use it or not).

I've personally seen tablets for years,but they aren't something exciting - infact they seem tupid to me. Large handheld fragile devices which can't do much except open a couple of pages, play some videos, and scribble things. It neither has good storage, or good support for applications. And fr those people who don't know, tablets have been in the market since 2003. Its just that noone liked them for their "immobility","expensiveness" and

Stars(as they say), are the smost stupid creatures on the planet. They don't even know the basics about the world they live in, or sometimes about the promotions that they do(taking Paris Hilton's Vote or die stint, she promoted the Vote or Die campaign, and herself didn't show up to vote - lazy dumass she is).

Recently during the CommonWealth Games, Hotel Ashoka took up this international fever and got a few iPads for their menu in their restaurants. And soon all these pads got damaged,as they were too fragile. Apple refused to repair them for free(that too when Apple makes people wait to get their products after their checkup in their United States plant). And this was what an American consultancy had advised them. And the topmost hotel management penalised the staff for this foolish loss they had caused. After all this episode, their manager(who happens to know me well), told me that these pads were nothing but "A wastage of money and time". Such harsh words for them made me understand how irritated he had become because of them.

So, if we - the masses, who are way more "Smarter" than these glittery lucky "dorks", all the time follow what they say, then we're fools. If we do not know our discriminationary powers,then we're a shame on our race.

So the next time some star out there says " whoo i got an iPad/Some new phone" , just say "whatever,you're a dodo, really. We don't give a f*ck what you own coz we're normal".
