I know it's one of the things that makes that show pretty awesome, and makes me pretty sure that it can be a long running show. A SHIT-TON of spoof worthy material.
Jesus, and people in this industry STILL fight the idea that it's an incredibly gross and sexist environment. This is what we can achieve with some of the greatest technologies that humanity has created, really!?
As it says on the app page "Pikinis is for everyone – men or women, straight, gay, or bi-sexual, human or vampire!". You are making it about sexism; surely shows in what types of categories you think about people.
Also, phones are not the greatest technology. Medicine is the greatest and even that is debatable. All other technology is just aimed at killing each other and shallow fun.
Right, that's why all of the pictures as of women in the Apple store, it's sold as a bikini search app (which is very much mostly a women's swimsuit), and there is no overbearing culture of sexism in tech? None of those things matter, is that really what you are trying to say?
And yes internet equipped devices and the sum total of most human knowledge at your finger tips is CLEARLY one of the greatest if not the greatest advancement(s) for human kind. It enhances and makes possible nearly every other branch of human discovery possible. Because you are shallow in your use of it does not mean the tech is aimed at shallow fun.
I like how the link you submitted appears to have come from a "please please please let me know when this app launches" mailing list. That's not a good look.
Well, understand that the context matters. It's definitely something worth discussing! But whether it's a good look or a bad look depends on the discovery. If you'd found it from, say, Jezebel's critical preview versus a heck-yeah-sign-me-up announcement list, your audience could take it differently. :)
