Without a shadow of doubt, plugs are the defining factor in how cultures are shaped around the world. The shapes of the plug things that go into the wall are actually synonymous with the shapes of our own societies.
Next time you plug something into your wall, whether it be a microwave, or a stereo, or a computer, or a TV, or a DVD player, or a lamp, or a phone charger, or a lawn mower, or a toaster oven, or a fridge or a dishwasher, or a cordless telephone, or a Playstation 1, or a Playstation 2, or a Playstation 3, or an Xbox, or an Xbox 360, or a Nintendo Entertainment System, or a Super Nintendo Entertainment System, or a Nintendo 64, or a Nintendo Game Cube, or a Nintendo Wii, a Turbo Grafix 16, or a Sega Master System, or a Sega Genesis, or a Sega CD, or a Sega Saturn or an iPod charter – think of the history of all plugs, and how they have impacted your everyday life.
Let’s talk about the different kinds of plugs!

Plug 1:

This is from North America, and is the best kind of plug because of the two vertical lines. They represent the respect held between men and women, plus they spawned the first revolutionary meeting held in South Africa to end the Apartheid.
This plug is, without any doubt, the most dominant and powerful of the plugs. It has maintained its dignity and power of all other plugs since 1903.

Plug 2:

Also from North America, this is very similar to the style of plug as the one above, with the exception of the half-circle at the bottom. The half-circle was a lame attempt at trying to usurp the first plug. The attempt failed in the late 80’s leaving only bitterness between plug number 1 and plug number 2. I heard that the hate was so powerful between the two factions that plug 1 wouldn’t serve hamburgers to plug 2 during the great fast-food shortage of 1987.

Plug 3:

Seriously? 2 Dots? Come on, I mean, can you get any more lame? I think this one is from Belgium or something, and it shows based on how boring it is. Come on Belgians, get your act together and make a more interesting plug…

Plug 4:

This plug was invented in England in 1927, but a famous plugologist named Marcus Hemmingway. The concept was to separate 3 dots equally apart so that if you drew a line between the dots you would get a triangle. It was an attempt at creating equality among the three economic classes in England at the time: The Rich, The Poor, and the Assholes.
Hemmingway still lives today, in Essex, at age 98. His dog is named Dog.

Plug 5:

2 Dots again. This one is actually French, and apparently the French are incapable of thinking of an original plug idea, and decided to copy the Belgian one. I don’t really understand this one too well, not because there are the 2 dots – but because there also exists a third hole. This “third hole” remains a mystery to this day.
Famous Anthropologist Desmond Morris has, on many occasions, attempted to solve this mystery. His only conclusion was that the third hole had something to do with the famous French Statue of Liberty which stands tall in the heart of Paris, France.

Plug 6:

I fucking hate plug number 6! The whole idea makes me sick, just look at it! Ugh!
Mother fuckers.

Plug 7:

Another English Masterpiece! Come on England, are we being serious? After your first bullshit attempt (see plug 4), you try this? What direction do you really want these pins to go, Vertical or Horizontal? The indecision reflected here in the shape of this plug resembles the indecision displayed by the English in World War 1 – That was when the Hindenburg Zeppelin crashed into the CN Tower in 1988.

Plug 8:

Ovals? Why ovals? I believe this one is from Israel. If someone asked me: who is right with this whole Israeli-Palestinian conflict? My answer would be “pineapples.” Because of the spikes.

Plug 9:

Ahh! More angles! Hey, Australia – why are you always trying to be different? Successful at least – One! Two! Three! I hate green! I hate green! I hate every single thing… That’s green! Chicka Chicka!

Plug 10, 11, 12 and 13

I’m getting tired, so I’ve decided to do a contest on which of the last 4 plug is the dumbest looking:

The winner for the dumbest looking plug of these four is the last one! It’s from Switzerland. Good job Swiss people, for making your whole country look stupid based on the shape of your plug! Maybe you should have picked a side during World War 2!
It’s kind of like a robot vagina.

Thank you.
