Finally! A cell phone for your stupid ass parents!

I saw a commercial for this Jitterbug phone a few weeks ago. I think the picture to the right explains it all. It's the most unintentionally condescending commercial I've seen in a while. It's kind of like that "I've fallen & I can't get up" old lady commercial in the 80s. Like, you felt bad, but you were really laughing your ass off every time you saw it. Anyway, this phone is made for old people. It has huge buttons so that you can focus on the buttons even with cataracts. It only has about 3 buttons(probably so that if you're shaking with Parkinson's & hit the wrong button, you won't be too far off from the number that you need to call). You can call 911, your closest relative, and 911. The old people in the commercial are carrying on as though the telephone, let alone the cell phone is the newest, hippest invention that all of their grandkids are talking about. And, they have cell phone plans for as little as $10! This is probably so that it doesn't suck up all of your social security check money.
So, if your grandparent(s) is a moron or you want to get them a gag gift for Christmas '07, this is the phone for them.

One of the women that I work with is married to the doctor who answered the phone on the "I've fallen and I can't get up..." commercial.
