I Love Being An American

I love being an American because only in America would you find a USB drive filled with beer.

I’m not qute sure what this says about us as a culture. I would, of course, love to see one of these in action. I guess I have serious reservations about sticking something liquid-filled into my $2000 computer. Call me crazy.

I love the response from this Gizmodo article because it pretty much exactly how I feel:

Is capitalism really that great, if it leads to beer-filled USB flash drives with “optional customizable floating objects” inside? Should we Americans really be that pleased with our free speech, if it means I get emails from people who make flash drives with BEER in them? And am I really secure with myself as a gadget dork, getting all excited over the latest and greatest shiny toys, if that same email brags about the floating objects being in 3D? How could they be anything but 3D, when they’re actual, physical objects? I can’t pretend like the world is the same after this. The sun doesn’t shine as bright. The air doesn’t taste as sweet. Congratulations, Beer-Filled USB Drive Manufacturer. You’ve broken me.
