"Let's not do that stupid shit again." Do you comprehensively disagree with the notion that the TAM was a fucking ridiculously stupid idea? Do I ever have the phone for you! How would you like a arse-achingly ugly, underpowered BlackBerry, running a slightly warmed-over version of a phone OS from 2006, for only two thousand of your American capitalist pig-dog dollars?
