Dear Foreign Couple in this Video:

This is the OLPC. For you to read the instructions and wonder what this “does” and hoot in mad-eyed wonder when you see a colored man on the screen makes me puke a little. You should be able to turn this thing on and make it work, mostly because it’s made for kids who have probably never touched a computer in their lives. Your failure hurts all poor children, everywhere, and you two should probably stick to the old “girl hating the guy, for some reason unknown to everyone, whenever they’re getting ready to go to a party and then making everyone feel awkward until they leave” routine rather than the operating of computing machinery.
