What’s a Tuesday without Toolsday? I say Tuesday would be the second day of the shit work week without Toolsday. Luckily, my steal trap of a brain remembered that today is Tuesday as well as Toolsday so we won’t have to think of the horrible possibility of a Tuesday without Toolsday until I almost forget to post a Toolsday post next Tuesday. Wow, I shouldn’t have done that last bump of speed. The first four were tight, but that fifth, DAMN!
Anywho, it’s Toolsday and seeing how it’s Mac Week 2007! and all today’s Tool Room inductee is coming from the world of Apple. Hot off last summer’s three month long advertising blitz/one week stay in theaters bomb, Accepted, your Tool today is one Justin Long.
Justin Long was conceived during and his name inspired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1977 season. His parents, rabid Bucs fans, knew they couldn’t name their son Thirdin’, so they settled on the more “accepted” name of Justin. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons, and all of a sudden Justin was all grown up and (cough) Waiting… to hit the big time. Some dodgeball here and a tour de force performance in Wake Up Ron Burgundy there, and his big role finally came a callin’ – Apple shill. With his barely-there, midnight shadow facial hair, a “where the fuck do I know that guy from?” popularity, and hooded sweatshirts galore Justin made for the perfect corporate mouth piece.
Justin’s about to hit it big with his performance in the soon-to-be summer blockbuster, Live Free or Die Hard. Not since Rob Schneider teamed up with Jean-Claude Van Damme in Knock Off has a sidekick been so out classed by his leading actor, but that’s a burden Justin will have to bear. But his biggest offense, the one that lands him here in the Tool Room, are his smug I’m-better-than-you, typical-Apple-superiority-bullshit advertisements that air every five fucking minutes on TV. You’re a Mac, I KNOW I FUCKING GET IT! But you’re also becoming the bane of my television viewing. Although, is Apple hiring you back?
Welcome to the Tool Room Justin. If Apple doesn’t want you, we sure as heck do. Stay cool brova!
