Sure beats dressing up as a giant whoopie cushion.

Notice at least one of the guys lives at home. Figures.

Cute idea though. If I ran Apple I would have considered sponsoring them - instead they'll probably be sued for copyright infringment!

[Displaced]

More power to them. They're at the right age for this silliness--young enough to have the energy for it and old enough to afford blowing a little money. And I guess they can keep or sell the TVs afterward.

[Rev JSH]

Wow, thanks internet, for offering fame to those so deserving of our attention. Those dreamers, those risk-takers, those...attention whores.

Halloween is for children, dorks!

[Phranqlin]

It's better to get attention for making an obsessively detailed costume than, say, getting yourself impregnated with a butt-load of fetuses, pretending to launch your 6-year old son in a balloon, flashing your cooter in public, harassing people at military funerals ...

[Rev JSH]

Id prefer to see cooter over fanboy basement dwelling pre-yuppy technophiles. But to each their own, Phranq.

[Torgo]

I've lost interest in Halloween since adults took it over.

[FatSean]

Why hate on Yuppies? They make the middle class possible. Maybe you should have tried harder in school Rev JSH.

Beats going to church.

I think Phranklin nailed my POV on the head. Harmless fun, a pretty neat thing to show off, and far less embarassing than what everyone else seems to get getting into the new for.

[Rev JSH]

@FatSean: You make quite a few assumptions that have no basis in knowledge. And it is because of people like you with limited minds, bottom shelf intelligence and lemmur-like imaginations that I am glad not to be part of the backbone of the mediocre class. It would behoove you to think (before you speak), and to eat a bag of dicks, you walking/talking wetspot.

[AngrySockMonkey]

Now opening!!

Costumes for the socially inept.

Rev: how do you know if lemurs have imaginations

[Rev JSH]

@ASM: I very much doubt lemurs do have (developed) imaginations, which was sort of the whole point.

[kestrelmas]

I agree with Phranq.

[Rev JSH]

Tis a sad day for vaginas. They seep, and I weep.

[Chadimus]

Apparently devoting some of those 90 hours to volunteering does not make him happy. I'm shocked. At least he keeps his technie hipster cred... or something.

[pms]

dressing up as an iphone because you have too much time and money?...yeah, there's an app for that.
