Maybe you've heard the buzz, maybe you haven't: Apple's iPhone4s has a nifty little feature called Siri. You ask Siri questions, Siri send you to places with the answers.
For example, if you ask Siri for a "happy ending", Siri sends you to listings of massage therapists!
Sigh. Yes, shit like this is still happening and now it's happening because of a corporate bohemoth called Apple. Disregarding decades of hard work by massage therapists to raise the profile of our profession and link our name to health and wellness, Apple has instead chosen to revert back to the "wink-wink-nudge-nudge" crap.
Wonder what specific "genius" at Apple decided that was a good idea?
But wait! Apple isn't the only one with some power in the online world. You too (yes, you!) can make your opinion / worldview known. In about 40 seconds you can send Apple a message about how stupid that decision was.

Do it for me.
Do it for any massage therapist you know and respect.
And do it for those poor sex workers being asked to relieve back pain by people who actually want them to do a massage! Can you imagine their embarassment?
