The whole May the 4th Be With You is one of the main reasons why the planet earth is always trying to kill us. See the polar ice caps melting? Global Warming? The bees going missing? This is earth’s way of saying “Hey guys, you know that Star Wars/ May The 4th pun? Yeah we get it. We got it in the 80s and we get it now. We get it on twitter and Fb and instagram. Please stop it. I don’t care if you have it up against a picture of a cute kitten dressed like Vader. Stop it. Stop it now or I will END things…”. Thanks Earth, a bit harsh, but you get the point. Never has one pun made me want to shoot myself in the face with a staple gun, more. I dread being outside on that day. I dread having to sit beside someone on the bus and see them looking at twitter (hey guys, I look at your phone on public transport, its my thing) and watch as they Retweet a comment from a “Celebrity” who tweets “May The 4th Be With You! Lol”. I just want the bus to drive over a cliff, with me on it, Season 2 of Veronica Mars style. What makes things worse is when people use the #starwars hashtag AS IF WE DIDNT GET IT. Just to drive it home that they know what the pun means too and to look “geek chic” in front of their virtual mates.
I didn’t mean to make this whole thing about that pun, but I think I’ve made my point and look forward to smashing my phone next year on this day. Until then, have a look at what I played!
