The Sun’s new AIR application called Desktop Keely reminds me of the writers adage. “Write for the masses and eat with kings, write for kings and eat with the masses.”

I’m not overly familiar with the United Kingdom and their cultural nuances, but even in North America their daily rag “The Sun” has gained a degenerate reputation. Maybe degenerate is a little harsh, but it’s pretty much the same word I would use for the National Inquirer and probably Star magazine. This stuff is pure brain garbage that does nothing more than stimulate a person’s most base instincts.

But alas, I have to admit, those very primitive responses are often undeniable even if deplorable. I have often fell victim to the magazine rack while buying milk and bread, wondering what sort of trouble Linsay Lohan and Britney Spears have gotten themselves in… and I have resisted, sometimes failed, to quell the overwhelming urge to flip through the pages and see the best and worst beach bodies this year.

Anyway, I’ve been suckered again… and this time from right across the Atlantic.

It’s a nice and simple desktop application, packaged up with long legs and bulging breasts.

Damned be my monkey brain, but this is cool, especially if you are into half naked girls, celeb gossip or sports.

It’s at least worth a look if you are involved in producing AIR applications. The idea alone is brilliant, and the final product is usable to those of us who can’t control our limbic systems.

I’m betting the Sun gets all sorts of hits back to their Page 3 Website (warning: link contains nudity) from this application.
