First off, regarding arms in general: the only safe arm is one not holding a gun.

If you find yourself face-to-face with a person with a fire arm, remember: drop and roll … them, not you.

This is the handgun that I used in the previous post. Look closely at the side view of the gun, then take special note of the gun’s front view. The reality is this is a virtual gun — it must be ‘loaded’ onto an iPhone or iPod Touch — CLICK the handgun above.

Apple’s got themselves a pretty sweet system. To sync your iPhone or iPod, you must launch iTunes. Right there in iTunes is the iTunes Store, featuring more and more things entertainment, everyday. And it’s tough not to take a quick peek while syncing starts up.

Most recently, I’ve been paying attention to the apps, which Apple neatly sorts by what’s most popular, both in the paid apps and free apps. I could not understand why a free gun app was always at the top of the most popular apps list. I read up on it, and discovered it wasn’t even a game — it was a “handgun simulation.”

After avoiding it for a few months, I downloaded it just to see what it was. The artwork was nice. So, I plugged in my THX-certified speakers, and YIKES — I was hooked. As a testament to how realistic it is, I caught myself aiming it away from me when I fired it.

PLEASE NOTE: This post, as well as the previous related, ‘voicemail’ post, are parodies, not to be taken seriously … as I shouldn’t be. The voiceover for the voicemail was recorded prior to the handgun sounds, and was recorded ad lib. Just a whim and a silly idea.

ALSO NOTE: NO ANIMALS OR HUMANS WERE HARMED OR KILLED DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THESE TWO POSTS — ALTHOUGH ONE FAIRLY-LARGE, AGGRESSIVE BLACK SPIDER UNFORTUNATELY DID NOT SURVIVE. OUR CONDOLENCES TO FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES — WE SENT DEAD FLIES TO THE FAMILY.
