[ NNSquad ] Pomegranate Phone is a joke, son, a joke!


OK gang, just to be clear, since at least one NNSquad reader appeared
to miss the point, the Pomegranate Phone piece is a *joke video*
(actually, a viral marketing campaign by Nova Scotia).

I thought it was an amusing satire of the bizarreness in the cellular
industry, and hoped that my comments about 5G, filters, and saliva
clogging, plus "something light to start the week" would drive home the
fact that it wasn't serious.

I guess I should know better.  As I may have mentioned before, some
years ago I wrote an April Fools' Day piece for CACM on Matter
Transmission ( http://www.csl.sri.com/users/neumann/insiderisks.html#106 ) 
that was chock full o' puns.  But several people still thought it was 
serious, and I even found it quoted in serious discussion of teleportation
theory some time later.  As Dr. Smith would say, "Oh the pain, the pain ..."
