Are You Seeing Color?

The Color Purple
Wrong, Just not even close.
The new Iphone/Android app* Color came out today, and boy is it getting folks's panties in a twist.  The app is a photo sharing app, but with a twist.  As PC Mag reports, 

"It taps into your GPS to find your location and shares photos that you took with other users—any other users, not just your friends—who are within a 100-foot radius. It's voluntary in the sense that you have to download and install the app in order to use it or be included in what other people see, but once you're in, you're in, with little ability to limit who sees what."

Government spies!!! The rooskies are a'comin and they are peering in at you peers and there ain't nothing you can do about it.  Look at the guy next to you.  Commie!  And that girl.  No not her, she's cool, the blonde one.  Yeah, that straw-haired vixen's plotting your downfall, looking into your phone and stealing all your pictures.  No more privacy, just the twisted fantasies of a world where all mankind's secrets are locked away in each and every brain not out on the wires-less for all to see.  Hussies.  

Wow.  I am not sure if I channeled crazy conspiracy guy or the old lady who lived at the end of our block.  She smelled like meatballs and burnt tires and loved Rocky IV.  

The best part about "Color"?  There's a little TM after it.  Yep, they trademarked that shit.  Suck it, Crayola!

*Someone at Apple and Google fell over dead when I put them that close.
