How many times do I need to see this footer on emails that I receive...? We all know what happened, right? Someone at Apple figured this was marketing genius and a great way to spread the gospel. Well guess what Mr. Apple marketing man, after seeing this footer for the one hundredth time it becomes either 1) invisible because you are totally desensitized to it or in my case it's 2) really annoying because now I have yet one more line of text to scroll past on my mobile device in order to read the entire conversation thread.
The other day there was an outdoor concert at work and a comedian was the opener. After warming the crowd up a bit he launched right into his iPhone rant. It went something like this.
"I got an email the other day and at the bottom it said, "Sent from an iPhone". Nice going. You know what, who cares what kind of phone you have. Is this kind of posturing really necessary? I've got an idea; why don't you stick your iPhone up your ass, take a picture of it and then email it to yourself."
I was in tears.
By the way; the same thing goes for those massive signatures that include quotes by famous people that some people feel the need to send along WITH EVERY REPLY AND FORWARD. Just say no.
