How are women like former Glamour blogger and current People scribe Alyssa Shelasky destroying feminism? By sending out change of contact emails that say things like "I can't figure out how to order a Time Inc blackberry. Me and corporate America are not exactly bff....!" OMG LOL you two are so not but let's go talk about it over manicures and then rehash "The Hills" okay? God, my mother would strangle her with one hand.

Apparently they get hand-me-downs from their important parents? And sometimes they even get new ones? And the teachers don't even care? Not like at those stupid public schools!

Tools Love Their Blackberries

You know how some people always have to be right? They'll keep one upping you and pulling out all the stops until the smallest argument is settled.

Did you also know that these things they carry are capable of finding information on the internets?
