Living in a consumer society

This showed up in my Amazon Gold Box today:

Portable Ice Cube Maker.

Is it just me or is the concept of paying $400 for something that makes *ice* for godsake just repulsive?

Oh, but it looks like an iMac. You could be the hippest person at the party; bring it to the beach and beautiful people would throng around you.

Then again, for $399 you could buy a lot of other really groovy, rad things and spend the occasional buck for a bag of ice at Dillons. You just would look quite as cool.

Yeah, like a plane ticket to Cancun!
