You are the man

Launched last october in the States, the google phone (the portable phone which wants to be the future concurrent of the Iphone) begins to start to male a lot of noise. Not a day that we don’t hear something about it. New applications are all over blogs, specially dedicated to this sensational machine which wants to sign as well the end of the monopole of Apple. In this lot of bonuses, sometimes we even ask ourselves what they are for), people talk a lot about the « straight » application. You only need to put your index on the screen of the phone and in a few seconds the verdict comes : “Sorry, sweetie, you are” with a nice rainbow or second option “You are the man !” Of course It didn’t last long until LGBT blogs start to talk about this insolence and denounce the homophobic mean of the application. Google, completely crazy and haven’t planed such reactions said that “though this application can be seen as an offense for certain people, we don’t think of breaking any law” To use stereotypes on such or such group do not mean any hatred against this group”. That certainly shows the embarrassment, especially when Apple really takes care of being seen as gay friendly. Frankly said, on this side of the Atlantic, we truly believe such debates will not exist and we only ask ourselves who can buy such a bullshit, that, if it was working properly, could be very useful !
