Why is Pentax the official camera of the internet?

Who owns the internet and says this?

Al Gore owns the Internet. That shows how much credence I give that extremely shallow claim.

[Penguin_101_1]

Here is my e-mail
How is Pentax the official digital camera of the internet. What evidence do you have to back this up? Normally there must be a sponsor or owner to make these claims. Since the internet is not owned by a single person or company how can you be sure? I am sure that you did not ask me or all of the other billions of users of the internet if they like Pentax. Please send me the information to help me better understand how you can make this claim. Thank you.

Simply because Pentax was the first to come up with this lame brained moniker! :lol:

Since no one "owns" the internet,. no one can argue with the claim...

This topic was bought up on a nother forum while back when they first made the claim, I Thought it was hilarious, but it's marketing at it's best, the average joe isnt going to go to lengths to uncover the truth of it.

[FlipsidE]

Actually, they just discovered that there was more than one internet. It's all about the internets, now. Didn't you hear ;)

I'm glad you said far reaches, as I already had dibs on the near reaches. The middle reaches (universal suburbs) are still up for grabs.

Pentax sucks. My mom spent $450 on their SLR film camera 3 years ago. Worst piece of crap ever made, especially for a 60 year old. The focuse is slow, the shutter button has lag and the dummy features are not a dial but a LCD menu. If someone gave me the latest Pentax Digital SLR, I'd have it for as long as it would take for me to sell it on eBay and then I'd buy a Canon. I'd even take a Canon D30 over a pentax.

Canon could easily claim to be the official camera of the internet, but they are too busy making a camera that actually works.

This is more true than you know. Al Gore loves to take credit, but the internet was actually invented by physicists researching string theory. They wanted to exchange information over long distances so they taped into the phone lines with their computers. Eventually the public started catching on and bogged down its speed. The scientists made a new internet called internet2. This EXTREMELY fast information highway is reserved for the research, no public allowed. Anyway, there are actually two internets. What yuppie idiot gave Al Gore an Oscar anyway? That movie was horrible. I almost walked out of the room when he started going up on the lift but gritted my teeth through the rest of it anyway. The movie seemed more like an autobiography than a documentary? Ehhh

So... after three years what has being the official camera of the internet done for Pentax?

Absolutely nothing!!! At least I don't know anyone who has purchased a Pentax, let alone for the purpose of internet photos. ROTFLMAO

The yuppie idiot who is hoping to score a Cabinet position if Al Gore ever runs and is elected as president, that's who.

Only 2 internets?
The military has at least one of their own too. SIPRNET is shared between the US Great Brittan, Australia, and a few others. Secure communications are nice, but I hate having a computer on my desk that can't talk to my family, only people that I mostly don't want to talk to anyway. Its interesting though how the military even has their own google powered search engine for people to use. If it weren't for the fact that there is no advertising there then I would claim that one for Canon.
