The Slacker That Would Not Die
“Exxterminexx Pest Removal Service, how may I help you?”
“Please, please, you’ve gotta kill these things! They’re everywhere! Help!”
“Excuse me?”
“These, these…things! They’re all over the place and I don’t know where they came from or what they are, but my house is rife with them! I want them all to die!”
“OK, sir, calm down. What kind of pest are we talking here? Are these insects, or rodents, or what?”
“Uh, neither, I guess. I dunno, they look like iPods or something, but a lot bigger and less attractive. There’s like a 4” LCD on each one, but they never show any movies – just album art and lyrics and crap like that.”
“Hmm. OK. Let me ask you this: do they play music from your choice of over 100 professionally programmed Internet radio stations? And will they store up to 15 of your favorite stations?”
“Yeah, that sounds about right.”
“But you can’t actually save songs, or skip more than six songs an hour, unless you pay a $7.99 monthly fee?”
“I think so.”
“Alright, that’s what I thought. What you got is an infestation of Slacker Portable Radios. We’re seeing these things a lot lately.”
“Is it bad?”
“Well, they’re hard to get rid of. I mean really hard.”
“What can I do?”
“Not much. They’re resistant to poisons, and they don’t scare easily, so cats don’t help.”
“Can’t I just, I don’t know, like, sell them?”
“Ha ha! Sorry, it’s just…well, you can try, but nobody’s having much luck with that.”
“So am I just stuck with them, or what?”
“That’s your choice. You can keep them, and enjoy more streaming Internet radio than the human mind can possibly process. You can throw them in the garbage, as long as you comply with local waste-disposal laws. Or, well…”
“What? ‘Well’ what?”
“I’ve heard of an outfit in Texas that might take them off your hands. If anybody can sell these things, they can. But they probably can’t.”
