Sarasota, NY – With a single ad and
what appeared to be a batting line-up just beginning to appear on his cell
phone, 28 year old Clive Ferbus frantically refreshed the ESPN website from
which he simply wanted to know the score of the Yankees Orioles game.
“It
still says two to nothing”, the obviously frustrated Ferbus reported, “but it
also says first inning, and I know it’s at least the top of the third.”
After
another few agonizing minutes, during which Petsmart, GEICO and Ashley
Homestore ads appeared, the increasingly agitated man still had no better
understanding of the current score.
“Jeez”,
he muttered, holding the phone aloft as if to invoke the nearest tower. “It
still says two, but I mean is that the score? Balls, strikes, what?”
“Runner
on second”, he continued, his frustration reaching the boiling point, “but
who? Who’s at bat?”
Sources
reported that a by then semi-delirious Ferbus finally gave up, turned his phone
off and shoved it in his pocket just as a Walmart video began to play.
