    The end of civilization is upon us... PROOF

    This seemed like as good a place as any to begin the campaign to let everyone know that civilization and society as we know it has failed. I don't mean the funny kind of fail on the demotivational posters. I mean the kind of fail that deserves a few committees on the hill to look into where we go from here. Here's the gist...,

    I'm not an avid drinker of the Apple Juice, but I own an iPhone. This morning while I was browsing the app store for ways to improve productivity or at least look more productive, I came across an app named "More Toast". I'm sorry that I'm too distraught right now to get into the details but I will provide the link to the developers site so that you can take it upon yourself to check this out and do your part to warn everyone to begin preparations for the end.

    While you're there, take a moment to look at the other apps this person has actually made a choice to devote countless hours of his/her life too. I can't help but weep for humanity. Just please don't blame the messenger.

    Here ya go, http://mavericksoftwaregames.com/More_Toast!.html

    I'm not sure what's worse. The person who came up with the App. Or the people who actually pay for this shit. My vote is on the people who buy it.

    It looks like the estimate that there's a sucker born every 15 minutes was way too conservative. Personally, I admire someone that figures out how to sell a 2D, inedible, odorless, image of food to people as if it's a prize to be coveted.

    That notwithstanding, if you're reading this and have an iPhone and bought this app and enjoy it then..... Crap, part of me wants to apologize if I offended you and the other part is just weeping uncontrollably for you. I guess I need to work on a little tact if I want to be around here long. Seriously, it's all in fun

    Love it. Was a little worried about the size at first. So was my wife and daughter. But after using it for a while, there is no way I would want to go back to a small screen phone.

    Also moved to Sprint from at&t and couldn't be happier.

    If your looking to upgrade, I'd really look at the Samsung galaxy s coming soon also.

    All I have to say, ebay, Michael Jackson, Ghost in a bottle.

    Ok I have more to say, this is consumerism at its best. Some dumb ass says one day, "I bet I can get people to buy a piece of toast."

    Makes the app.

    Consumers see it and go "OMG, I HAVE TO OWN THAT CAUSE IT IS FUNNY AND COOL!" In the mean time this guy has made more money than you and I do in a month. Blame the consumers, this guy has figured out the system.

    Hey if I could figure out a retarded simple app that people would buy and I would make lots of money I would do it too.

    Exactly my point, the developer is probably the most intelligent part of this equation. Yes, society is still failing, but not because of this guy being an entrepreneur.

    I need to make a maraca app where you just shack your phone and it make a rattle noise. Idiots would eat that crap up, they probably already have that app available though.

    ITUNES has an app thats close to this. It's called "Rattler". And all it does is make the noise of a rattle snake. It's $1.99, and 148 people actually purchased the thing. Isn't America Great? Making useless shit you don't need for years....hahaha.

    I have been wanting to make an app for a while now. I think you have to pay like 100 dollars for their program to make them not to sure though. I would also make a toe nail clipper app with a real foot you could clip away at. Everyone knows how much fun it is to clip toe nails!!!

    Yep. I think that'd one reason android apps are growing so fast. Apple charges devs 100 a year. I think google is a one time 25 charge.
