Another effing app





First came the fucking weather app which amused me no end in times of absolute and crippling boredom. Now comes something that takes that attitude in an even more fun direction.
WHERE THE FUCK SHOULD I GO FOR DRINKS?
If it sounds fucking British that's because it is. Here's the nice write up.
`There’s a neat little web application that has been out for a while now, called simply “WHERE THE FUCK SHOULD I GO FOR DRINKS?” (yes, all caps). Created by British creative consultancy coolography, the website gets right to the point. It is inspired by the similar What The Fuck Should I Make for Dinner? which gives users suggestions on recipes.
The location is random, and if you go back to the site, chances are a different location will come up. 
The first button, “My Location is Fucking Wrong,” lets you change the default starting location, to search a different area perhaps. The second button (the middle one), “No, That Place Looks Like Shit,” spins the wheel again and gives you the next random selection. The third button, “Actually, I’m Fucking Hungry” takes you to it’s twin-sister site, “Where the Fuck Should I Go To Eat?”
Or you can get there from here

What appeals to me,beside the childish pleasure of the `f' word is that it re-inforces the fact that your smart phone is fucking way smarter than you and knows it. It makes your computer so fucking superior its an insight to the future when nano chips breed more nano chips and make themselves sentient.
It may not be quite what Arthur C Clarke envisioned for the future but I think it was exactly what Phillip K Dick imagined. And his stories are a lot cooler that Arthur's. In my fucking opinion.
