I will say there was a period around the turn of the century where everything got very "My This, My That, My Everything" branded. I think after e-Everything but before iEverything. It felt like living in a world designed by a three-year-old in the "My" phase.
Ugh, I still hate when something uses the "My____" format.
It always makes me thing of "Fisher Price My First ______" like I'm being belittled.
Whatever happened to that My Pillow guy?
Did he not put enough saliva on the ring? Did the leopards get him after they deported all the immigrant workers in his factory?
He did more crack than your entire bloodline has spent on existing.
I get the feeling you didn’t prove him wrong in his prove him wrong challenge.
Lol I did not. Your feelings are valid.
That said, I'm like 99% sure someone took his money for that after losing a court case
now he's the This Pillow guy.
lawsuits and being a general dipshit hit him hard. But I bet he's still around, throwing money at some Super PAC.
Just announced a run for Governor of Minnesota on a platform of arresting people who protest against ice.
lol. Is he reporting all the immigrants who work in his factories?
Even "My First Sony"?
ESPECIALLY "My First Sony"!!!!!!!
Made tech support confusing.
"Okay, so open My Computer"
"Your computer?"
"No, your 'My Computer' "
Well, "This Computer" doesn't improve it much.
Hah, I used to do tech support and this is spot on. Then again, that was happening no matter what. "Click the 'X' in the corner of the window" would have them pressing the X key on the keyboard or asking "what's a window?".
Microsoft started it in 1995 with "my computer" on windows 95. They replaced it with "computer" just 12 years later with Vista.
