CES-Pool: The Swag Hags

There are a lot of things I like about CES, but there are also a lot of people that I hate. It's not that I'm some grumpy old curmudgeon (25 isn't that old), but it's just that lots of people here are jerks. Take the gentlemen pictured above. I know their game. They go out on the floor and pick up every free piece of crap they can find, regardless of how useless it is or how idiotic it makes them look. I guess it works out for everyone in the end, though. The companies get free advertising, the douches get their precious cargo, and I have a surefire way of determining the people that aren't worth talking to. It's really the next best thing to wearing a sign that says "I'm such an idiot that I don't realize how stupid I look walking around with an inflatable surfboard on my back in 50-degree weather. Please don't talk to me because I'm in a hurry to get home and fall for e-mail scams."
