The definition of outrage is “an extremely strong reaction of anger, shock, or indignation.”

It’s also apparently what everybody feels … every minute they spend on their phones.  We’re outraged over this … outraged over that.

Here’s the latest outrage…

  ------ 99999——  Hey Siri… Where are the terrorists….

You ask Siri “where are the terrorists… and it responds with directions to the local police department.   My first reaction was “some idiot at Apple who slipped that into the code is gonna get fired.”

But apparently everybody else is busy being outraged.  I counted at least 50 headlines with the word outrage.   But what outrage.  Were people unable to sleep.  Were they catatonic with extreme symptoms of shock?   Did they march on apple headquarters.  Do we hear primal screams rising up from homes everywhere.

Nah.  People hit the tweet button to say… I’m outraged.  TWEET.  Then they go watch netflix.  And that’s what passes for outrage these days. 

Spare yours.   Apple quickly fixed the idiot’s work... and apologized.  

-----xxxxx----

Don’t know if anybody got fired.  But if they’re still employed. 

I’m outraged… and tweet.
