- michaelpinto, on 10/26/2009, -1/+39Bloom County was so good in the 80s! By the way that ad was very typical of personal computer ads from the era which assumed that you didn't own a personal computer and needed to so that your kids were on the right track.
- diemunkiesdie, on 10/26/2009, -10/+41I need some help finding the funny...
- copypastry, on 10/27/2009, -2/+32What the ***** they sell Bananawrite, Bananafile, Bananadraw, and Bananamanager?
That bastard Steve Jobs is probably going to release Bananaphone later and make us pay for the upgrade. - japican, on 10/26/2009, -0/+27http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7589/bloom10.gif
- itsdelightful, on 10/25/2009, -1/+27haha good ol' bloom county
- Archer007, on 10/27/2009, -0/+17Ding a ling-ling-ling...
- doctordbx, on 10/27/2009, -1/+17Lets see... Gene Simmons is filthy rich and knee deep in pussy.
Good reasons to shun technology if you ask me. - KibblesnBitts, on 10/27/2009, -0/+14Your*

- Truedirt, on 10/25/2009, -5/+15What's this all about?
- ator1, on 10/27/2009, -0/+8Wearing fishnet stockings... all the way to the bank.
- rushnerd, on 10/27/2009, -2/+10So if you don't have a PC growing up, you become an extremely successful founding member in one of the most profitable rock bands in history?
- AmazingSteve, on 10/27/2009, -0/+7Deathtongue FTW!
- rompom7, on 10/27/2009, -0/+7I'm willing to upgrade as long as they make it cellular, modular, interactivodular!
- outatune, on 10/27/2009, -0/+6And it's still relevant today!

- FormerBabby, on 10/27/2009, -0/+6*facepalm*
- nostalgichero, on 10/27/2009, -0/+6Also, It's a strip from the Bloom County Comic, very funny.
- theNazz, on 10/26/2009, -0/+5Where's a Bill The Cat ascii ???
ACK! - jkoke, on 10/28/2009, -0/+4So you're saying we should give up the following things:
Police protection
Public roadways
Public education
Sidewalks
Streetlights
Fire protection
Water treatment
Public defenders
Prosecution of criminals
Food safety
State and National Parks
Doctor licensing
Public safety (driver licensing)
Prisons
etc.
All those things are things you pay for, and may never receive use of. It's not socialism. It's living in a society.
Think long and hard, and you may discover how much of an idiot you are. - Elfman9, on 10/27/2009, -0/+4Damn! I miss Bloom County! Greatest comic strip ever!
- Benno, on 10/27/2009, -0/+4He should have kept the animation rights.
- lindsayjc, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3http://www.globalnerdy.com/wordpress/wp-content/up ...
- teebird, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3Dig around for back numbers of the old "Bloom County" strip from the mid-80s or look up the Banana computer series of strips in a bound anthology. There's a whole hilarious series of adventures in computing and hacking involving one of the Bloom County kids and a Banana Junior 6000.
- d2002, on 10/27/2009, -3/+6It's almost depressing how long we've been fighting for socialized medicine.
- rrrhys, on 10/27/2009, -3/+6Can somebody explain the joke?
- geodebug, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3wow, I remember when that was first run. I'm old.
- korhojoa, on 10/27/2009, -0/+3But we got our cat before IE was released, it's still alive.
- krisrm, on 10/27/2009, -1/+4Banana phone!
- detorn, on 10/27/2009, -1/+4era pic of Gene (lower right)
http://www.kissfanshop.de/line-up/1984.jpg - wacked, on 10/27/2009, -1/+4Oh how I miss Bloom County!
- johnnyrotten, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2So, it has nothing to do with the fact that when Gene Simmons was a kid, the only people who had personal computers built their own?
- bundwallah, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Ah memories....Bloom County...Calvin & Hobbes....please come back!
- Elranzer, on 10/27/2009, -1/+3This comic doesn't actually mention Apple...
- copypastry, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2I'm pretty sure that Gene Simmons is one of the only people around who has actually drowned in vaginas.
- bjornski, on 10/27/2009, -0/+2Ratings gold.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khhC5UkiNd4 - deadguysleeps, on 10/26/2009, -0/+2but...
what happens when you get a computer when you're old? - Balanced, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1The Banana Junior was definitely similar to a classic 'toaster' Mac in shape.The image has been going around online for decades, I believe. Well, a decade at least.
- KoderKev, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Bloom County was the best strip ever! I loved Opus and Bill! I miss them.
- webchimp32, on 10/27/2009, -1/+2Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh! Damn you, damn you all to hell.
- DrTeeth01, on 10/27/2009, -2/+3But Gene Simmons has had a lot of sex, money and rock god status instead. Seems like a fair trade off....

- spacebuddy, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1Gene Simmons is some old man who owns a car wash,I think?

- jmatthias, on 10/28/2009, -0/+1Those of you taking this as a serious ad are making me very sad.
- Rkstar, on 10/27/2009, -0/+1The submitter confused bananas and apples. Though, they are both delicious and healthy snacks.
