Louis C.K.’s Daughters Can’t Have Smartphones Because Of Sadness

Louis C.K.’s daughters won’t be getting mobile phones anytime soon, because the famous dad/funnyman explains as only he can, phones take away his kids’ ability to just feel sadness.

Update: Video now works, sorry about that.

It’s a valid point; when was the last time you were able to sit idly doing nothing without reaching for your iPhone to check Twitter or something? Louis says smartphones distract us from the sadness and despair that we’re all meant to feel sometimes. Sigh. Maybe it’s too early in the day for existential dread, but at least his delivery is perfect.
