I was looking at this ad for ApplePeelz, which is a kind of nasty plastic film which you use to pollute the pristine beauty of the nice clean matte finish of the MacBookPro…
The ad says:
In geek terms, it’s like a force field for your warp core.
(Don’t you hate that you understood that?)
Arrogant little marketing proles: don’t try to fake geek. “Did I understand that?!” Here’s what I understand: you are not one of us, and you are patronizing me.
Is the field that surrounds the Warp Core called a “force field?” Have you ever heard a Trekkie call it that? No? That is because it is not called that… it is called the Containment Field.
Good work, you guys just made yourselves look like the poser kid who tries to fake cool, or like your parents using street slang they heard on Matlock or Diagnosis Murder or something.
And how could this have been avoided? Maybe by asking like say one Trek fan. You stupid elitist assholes. Nice plastic wrap for your laptop, loser!
