Default The Onion Pokes Fun at Apple

With apologies to our sister site, Apple Thoughts, I just had to share this video because it sums up perfectly so much of what I think about Apple!

Hey, at least this would have generated some buzz.

All I can say is, Palm, the stage is 100% yours. You couldn't have even dreamed of fewer competing headlines from CES or MacWorld. Don't screw it up!

Wow, condemning CES already and it hasn't even started yet. Harsh!

You know if you had just posted this as a funny (which it was) without needing to remind the sponsors and members that read this forum how much you hate Apple . . . .

Ah what the heck. Maybe they missed it the first 500 times.

Oh yeah, I totally hate Apple - I hate Apple so much I launched an Apple site and am putting as much effort as I can into making it successful. Yup, you've got me all figured out. Come on, lighten up! Don't be the stereotypical touchy Mac user that gets upset when someone says something bad about Macs.

LOL ok Jason. So you don't plan to make any money with Apple related product advertising ?

I don't follow. You believe that because I comment that a funny video reminds me of what I don't like about Apple, I somehow will never sell Apple-related ads on Apple Thoughts? That's not the way things work in the online advertising world...or are you talking about Apple themselves advertising with us? I doubt that will happen, but if it were to, it wouldn't be de-railed by the fact that I talk about not liking things about Apple sometimes.

Yeah, basically I just don't understand what you're talking about.

edit: Nevermind. Not worth getting into this with you again. On a side note I discovered quite by accident thoughtsmedia.com. I really like the layout and it will become my new portal.

Hey, at least you got reasonably polite responses. When he told me to lighten up and I sent him a PM, you should have seen the response (on Christmas Eve no less). "Touchy" would be an extreme understatement.

I bet Santa didn't even leave coal that night (that can at least heat the house).

As for the joke, Saturday Night Live has done some decent send-ups of Jobs. Maybe we'll see the iPod Femto -- one song capacity, no shuffle needed.

Just feels like it has since we've had so many pre-announcements. Perhaps there'll be a surprise, but based on the news I'm expecting nothing but thin TV's, HD camcorders, netbooks, and gimmicky twin-screen laptops.
