iPod's Clean Little Secrets

[adderslj]

C'mon, you can't have missed the iPod's Dirty Little Secret video, can you? Well, Daring Fireball didn't, and has helpfully supplied some more accurate, but less sensational slogans they could use instead.

My personal favorite:

"I'm so fucking dumb I've not only videotaped myself committing criminal vandalism, I've released the footage publicly"

Splendid.

Oh, come on, Adam - even for a rabid Mac-head like yourself that's a lot.

Are you seriously happy that Apple want to charge you almost as much to replace the battery on an I-Pod as buying a new machine?

"I'm so fucking dumb I've not only videotaped myself committing criminal vandalism, I've released the footage publicly"

they weren't vandalizing. they were painting over the top of posters that are pasted on the sides of walls. There's no law (as far as I know) in the U.S. that says you can't write on posters that have already been pasted to walls...they aren't paid advertisements, its a public forum.

The one thing that they DO do that's illegal is moving the trash dumpster...that's private property, plus he climbed on it, which has other problems attached to it.

so, the person that said, "I'm so fucking dumb I've not only videotaped myself committing criminal vandalism, I've released the footage publicly", is "So fucking dumb to not realize that what the guy is doing is expressing himself, not vandalizing, therefor I should learn to actually think about things before popping my mouth off."

;-)

I personally don't care. I think its amusing that they've caused all this controversy. Its a fucking ipod. If only people were this rabid about their government, we might get some change.

I just laughed loud/long enough that I then had to explain to my two flatmates what I was laughing about.
