Have Yourself Some Merry Little Irony
Today I was out, and I came across a rack of cheap, $1 DVDs labeled “Christmas Fireplace”. The concept’s not unknown to me; basically, it’s just two hours of a camera focused on a fireplace. I didn’t buy one, thinking I had no need for it…
…and then, when I got home, I saw that one of the newest additions to the Xbox Marketplace was a $5 applet called, appropriately enough, “Fireplace” that does the exact same thing, only worse: it’s only five minutes looping. I did not buy that, either.
Of course now I want to go back and get the $1 DVD. What does that say about me, I wonder?
