Cut to Solo rolling his eyes and looking away in disgust. I was doing the exact same thing mentally during that segment. "browsing experience?" I remember when 'experiences' were notable, like getting the laid the first time, overcoming your fear of heights while rockclimbing, or boot camp. Now the Reality Distortionists and the marketing industry want us to forget that not everything in our overly packaged and routine lives is an 'experience'. In this at least I'd rather be bitterly aware than blissfully ignorant.
