Wasn't that just the sweetest movie you've ever seen in yer whole life?? I mean if they gave an OSCAR for unwrapping they'd have got the Golden Oscar for sure! I'm still drying my eyes and wiping the keyboard I was so emotional I just couldn't stop the tears pouring all over the place. :-( My poor heart was thumping like a jack hammer in heat with excitement. Damn near peed my pants when he finally unveiled the most beautiful photographic instrument I've ever seen in my whole life! Oh gosh gee whiz I'm drooling all over the place! I think it's drool? ;-) Actually it's quite simply a complete pile of crap cheap ass advertising! I know that's mean and I shouldn't get all riled up. But gee whiz and golly gosh all mighty, ya gotta admit it must have cost a fortune for the unveiling and cost of boxes for each camera. Hell a real nice old fashion chamois bag would've been much cheaper and lowered the cost of the camera and they'd have sold more cameras than ever! And the chamois cloth could have been kept as a polishing rag! Just have to think practical! All that special wrapping, book, booklets and whatever other bits and pieces of paper work along with the gold plated box is all sucker material that could be eliminated and brought the price down. Oh and the Green environmental folks must just be having the worst nightmares about pollution from all that stuff! Just get them started on their twitter things and they'd make Cairo look like a Sunday School picnic! OK back to the meds and a large single malt and calm down before bed! :-) Hey remember I don't take any of this seriously you know! ;-) Maybe I'll have an extra strong coffee in the morning to help get through the leftover nightmares of this BS pile of crap! Hey and before anyone get's on my case! I am not talking about the most magnificent camera a person can use! It's the boxes and bull sh ""t nonsense of crap marketing! sleep tight! g'night, Dr. ted :-)
