(sic) culture Chooses Table Napkins Over iPhone, Any Day

We’re kind of crazy about this parody site for (sic) culture‘s iDea, which contests the iPhone with a table napkin and an awkward pear-shaped logo sporting a bite on the “wrong” side.

Like the iPhone, it’s got simplicity going for it – and like the iPhone, it can accommodate your biggest ideas, then act as a vehicle to communicate it to the rest of the world. Add-on accessories include masking tape.

As an act of goodwill, the small print divulges that the parody site was created on a Mac. That aside, we think it’s less a jab to the miracle technology and more a nod to the simple things we take for granted.

JK Rowling scrawled her inspirational spark for Harry Potter on a napkin, and now she’s richer than the queen. So hey, instead of gabbing your ass off and trawling Flickr in broad daylight, maybe there’s something to hanging out at a cafe with a napkin, your thoughts and a little bit of desperation.
