I will say there was a period around the turn of the century where everything got very "My This, My That, My Everything" branded. I think after e-Everything but before iEverything. It felt like living in a world designed by a three-year-old in the "My" phase.

    Made tech support confusing.

    "Okay, so open My Computer"

    "Your computer?"

    "No, your 'My Computer' "

    Hah, I used to do tech support and this is spot on. Then again, that was happening no matter what. "Click the 'X' in the corner of the window" would have them pressing the X key on the keyboard or asking "what's a window?".

    Ugh, I still hate when something uses the "My____" format.

    It always makes me thing of "Fisher Price My First ______" like I'm being belittled.

    Whatever happened to that My Pillow guy?

    Did he not put enough saliva on the ring? Did the leopards get him after they deported all the immigrant workers in his factory?
