New Study Finds iPad is Cure for Adultery; Owners ‘Stop Noticing Other People Altogether’
Edited on Thu May-19-11 04:37 PM by Mira
Did the DU administration chose an iPad give away to help one of us be stronger in the marriage vows department? Inquiring minds, and this excited Golden Ticket recipient, do not want to know

New Study Finds iPad is Cure for Adultery; Owners ‘Stop Noticing Other People Altogether’
Mandatory Equipment for New Chief, IMF Says


CUPERTINO (The Borowitz Report) – A new scientific study released today says that iPad owners are less likely to commit adultery “because they stop noticing other people altogether.”

According to the study, commissioned by Apple, Inc., iPad use disrupts what scientists agree are the necessary first stages of extramarital sex: “noticing, admiring, and talking to other people.”

The study, which was conducted on a sample of one thousand iPad owners, found that not only did iPad use make them thoroughly uninterested in extramarital sex, “their nonstop talking about the amazing features and apps on their iPads made them completely unattractive to potential sex partners as well.”

The study also indicated that iPad owners are far less likely to have sex with the people they are married to, but that in two-iPad couples “neither partner seems to care.”

The new findings about the iPad drew widespread praise for the tablet device, including an official seal of approval from the National Association of Housekeepers and Maids.

In Europe, the International Monetary Fund announced that the iPad would be “mandatory equipment” for any candidate who hopes to take the helm of the IMF.

In Washington, presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said that the latest findings about the iPad made him interested in purchasing one, “but first I’ve got to pay off this damn Tiffany’s bill.”

In other political news, potential presidential candidate Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) said today that she was preparing for the GOP debates, including “studying up on where the Boston Tea Party took place.”

1. Wonderful: if we become a society of isolates, we can eliminate adultery.
OK, so its a spoof -- it's still fun to parody it.

2. I knew Steve Jobs was God (or the devil, either way...).
This is his plan to curb overpopulation. :applause:

Apparently, he has minions at DU that are in on it. That Golden Ticket is pure EVIL!!! EVIL I tell you! You should give it to someone with no soul.

/ahem :hi:

4. I guess I'll just have to pray for your lost soul.
Do you have a God preference, or can I just send it on to "To Whom It May Concern"?

6. I'll do my best.
I normally pray that the one that would benefit most wins. I'm sure any one of you Golden Ticket holders deserves a little kindness from the universe in the way of a new iPad 2.

Happy Friday (before the end of the world...heh)!!!

8. I could not agree with you more.
In a wonderful and unexpected moment like this my prayer, genuinely, is "Thy will be done".
I'm celebrating tonight by watching Bill Maher, and a good night's sleep.
