wow. Sound very conservative; like you're opposed to new generational ideology.

"Mindless devotion to a Brand!"

Hm, why is it mindless? And what is inherently bad about Brands or Branding?

It's part and parcel of our cultural semiotics. You might as well bash language equally for it's cultural influences. Let's call people who use particular words (brands) "mindless".

What's ironic is how mindless one needs to be in order to hold this "Anti-corporate/Anti-Brand" ideology.

What a tool

@Wittgensteinism Notice that Red Bull? You know, the energy drink brand? That's a pretty big indication that is rant isn't anti-corporate or anti-brand. That, and the fact that I'm speaking of a very specific behavior intentionally encouraged by some specific companies. It's more anti-mindless-consumerism. Don't give Wittgenstein a bad name with petty ignorance.

Aha! Azrienoch! I remember you from back in 2006/7 when youtube first started - I remember you were really quite popular back then.. why only 18k subscribers?!!?

[azrienoch]

@T800System I don't know about popular... Don't think I ever hit more than 1000 before 2008. Anyway, I chalk it up to inconsistent posting. Makes it easier to blame something I could help if I had the motivation.

Sometimes you sound like Richard Pryor, seriously.

Thejanek566 get out of your house more you closed minded fool.

[bmxmar]

people need "brands" to identify themselves... the point is... even a non brand product is a brand in fact... an anti-brand... it's way too much psychology in there...

[TheJanek566]

tatoos - okay. but fucking piercing? what are you a girl?

@rabidbadger73 u mad?

[card969]

Not sure that is correct, apple is the best in your opinion. You can build your own comp that make anything apple makes look like a toy for a 5 year old child.

@Undergroundhiphoop Using the iPhone 4 as an example of people purely worshipping a brand is a MASSIVE mistake the processor inside the iPhone 4 is clocked at 800MHz which on paper seems underpowered but it also packs in an impressive GPU on the same chip which makes it one of the best single core CPU chips in a phone. Period. The iPhone 4 has a lot more quality hardware inside it, which for the money is a very good deal. iOS is also a very good operating system although I prefer Android myself

[Undergroundhiphoop]

It is TRUE! As a 16 year old myself I can tell you guys that people in my class doesn't even know what a processor is but they claim the iPhone 4 to be the best phone in the market till now. They don't know what RAM is, they don't know what shit is. All they know is Apple, and just because of that, they worship the brand. Just because something is expensive or trending it doesn't mean that it's the best. I don't buy that shit, literally.
