That's the best thing I've seen in recent memory. Watch it all the way to the end because it's not over when it seems to be ending.

1. It's not funny
It's not funny at all to link Apple and it's innovative products to the disastrous bloody war going on in Iraq.

On top of that, the Steve Jobs character isn't even wearing a black turtleneck.

Typical Fox "humor."

Meh.

6. To each their own
But if a lame pun is your idea of "brilliant", we're all fucked.

8. Did you watch the video? If all you got out of it was a pun, maybe you should watch it again.

10. Of course I watched it
It was a lame pun. Pre-school humor. Meanwhile, Apple is one of the few American companies we can actually be proud of, and people in Iraq are being blown to bits as we speak. Yeah, I know, "brilliant."

16. Get a grip
Simply disagreeing about what's funny is now an insult?

Please. I save my insults for the actual makers of this pathetic piece of "comedy."

20. Your words speak for themselves and they are insulting IMHO.

Pre-school humor.

17. It's an attack on good taste
It quite obviously is making light of the suffering of millions by smearing a decent company's name. In that order, okay?

18. Shit products. OS X is laughable.
I can't believe all the hype about Macs. Their OS is lamer than XP! As for the video, funny the first time. Not so funny a second time. I think gag humor only works once.

19. No, not okay. We obviously differ in our interpretations and senses of humor.

14. I'm reading your post while enjoying the rich, bold flavor of Dr. Pepper...
Dr. Pepper, more flavor, more taste, more to enjoy....

and I find it excessively supportive of Apple, Inc.

5. Who is that actor?
Edited on Wed Mar-28-07 03:15 PM by supernova
I think he's an SNL alum Mad TV alum, but I can't name him.

edit: I recognized the music.
edit: 2: Other than Steve Jobs feeling a little put upon, there's nothing wrong with it. It's quite clever. :-)
