But have you seen “Twitter Whore“? It’s kinda cheesy and silly, but for some reason I find it hilarious. Over the top.

PS:
Here’s Part 2. Not as good as the first one, though.

Addendum:
You can now purchase a Twitter Whore t-shirt!

It’s about past television ads for computers and contains many of them embedded on the page to view (via YouTube). The commercials include Atari 400, Commodore 64, Apple Macintosh, Tandy 1000, IBM, and many more. Brings back the old days when I was a kid and my brother and I would write funny BASIC programs and save them on a special cassette tape recorder (seriously). And didn’t we all just love the dot matrix printers, monocrome monitors, and powerful 133Mhz processors?
