I seem to attract crazy people. Here’s a photo of the drunk lunatic who passed out on the seat next to me on the way to Gran Canaria. Hint: look closely

samanthacliffe: This is one of the funniest articles I’ve seen in the Daily Mail… Are you wealthy, sophistacted and smart, but don’t care about anybody else?  Then you probably own an iPad. A survey has revealed the typical owner of Apple’s gadget is unkind and has little empathy for others.  They have been branded the ‘selfish elite’ by a poll of 20,000 consumers.  The £429 device has become one of the most desired gadgets in Britain since its launch in May and 600,000 are expected to be sold before the end of the year.   But the next time you see someone smugly using one, take comfort from the fact they are probably not a nice person.   According to Tim Koelkebeck of MyType, which carried out the survey in the U.S., iPad owners are six times more likely to be ‘wealthy, well-educated, power-hungry, over-achieving, sophisticated, unkind and non-altruistic 30 to 50-year-olds’. They are self-centred workaholics with an overwhelming interest in business and finance and will not cross the street to help others, he added.  But while people who own an iPad are supposedly uncaring and selfish go-getters, those who criticise the device are branded by the survey as ‘independent geeks’. Mr Koelkebeck said: ‘As a mainstream, closed platform device whose major claim to fame is ease of use and sex appeal, the iPad is everything that they are not. So remember, next time you see someone with an iPad, you can be pretty sure that they are EVIL.
