MAX IPAD User of the Week.

Lizzy and I went to the Carolina Liar, Kelly Clarkson and The Fray concert last night.  We had second row seats.  That's a full blog for tomorrow.  This blog is about, why I worry about the intelligence of ipad owners. 

The guy in the front row strutted up in a bright pink shirt and non-matching bright blue pants holding a Carvel ice cream and an ipad.  Not only did his mother dress him funny, she also never taught him to use a trash can.  Before the concert even started, the slob threw the Carvel container and napkins under the seat next to him (later in the concert, even more trash.) almost hitting the guy sitting behind it.  He then decided it was time to take pictures with his ipad.  This in itself would not have been so bad, except:

1. He was so stupid, it took him 5 minutes to figure out that his ipad screen was black because his flip back case, covered the camera lens.  He then fumbled furiously for several more minutes to fold his case in such a way that it would allow him to take pictures without dropping the ipad.

2. He stood up keeping his face inches from the screen, blocking the view of the young couple behind him and kids behind them during most of Carolina Liar and all of the Kelly Clarkson performance.  For the amount of time he was looking through the ipad and not at the concert, he may as well have watched it at home sitting five inches from his tv screen.

3. An Ipad as a concert camera?  Really?  What in your feeble little brain(or lack there of) says I need an unwieldy nine inch screen to take crappy pictures of a concert.  You can buy a sub $100 digital camera that can outperform even the best phones and tablets and it will allow you to hold it over your head to take pictures.  Even if you need connectivity, to send the pictures, an Iphone or Android phone would do.

Luckily, as you can see by the picture, he didn't block Lizzy and my view of the stage.  The people behind him were thankful when he left after Kelly Clarkson, they didn't have to stand up and maneuver around him or his trash to watch The Fray. 

If anyone who reads this blog recognizes the back of this bozos head(the ipad will probably still be a few inches in front of it), congratulate him on being the MAX IPAD user of the week.  By his actions last night, he'll probably think it's an honor.
