“It’s hard for the modern generation to understand Thoreau, who lived beside a pond but didn’t own water skis or a snorkel.” ~Bill Vaughn
To the woman in this Verizon ad,
First, you bought an expensive iPad 2 so you could read Twilight on the beach? Expensive electronic are not beach toys. If you want to read on the beach, might I suggest my novel? It’s perfect for the beach, and was not written with teen girls in mind.
Second, are you still reading that book at the park with your friend? Good grief. Finish it already. It’s not Ulysses.
Third, are you tweeting or facebooking or whatever while camping with the family? Come on, lady. Do you hate them? Jeez. Put that thing away and enjoy the great outdoors and the people who love you. You don’t have to announce to the world what you’re doing while you’re doing it. Your kids are either going to hate you for always having your head in your computer or they’ll emulate you and become people with their heads in their electronic devices. Is that what you want? Then keep it up, lady.
Sincerely,
Julie Luongo
