Leave Steve Jobs Alone!
Posted by Sean Fallon at 7:31 AM on August 5, 2008
We should all be ashamed of ourselves. Look what our insensitive prying into Steve Jobs' medical situation has done to this poor guy. He has freaked out and gone all Chris Crocker on us. We are awful, awful people--but we promise to change! Just don't dress up in women's clothing and dance around to iPod commercials. I don't think we could handle that. [Real Dan Lyons]

Steve Jobs didn't do anything, he says what he wants done and people do it!

Any Apple parody that mentions the Next is OK in my book.

@SinAmos: Have you ever seen Airplane? Dr. Strangelove? Get Smart (the TV series, not the terrible movie)? Don't impugn an entire branch of comedy just because most attempts at it miserably fail.
This video was funny for about ten seconds. Then it was just boring and stupid.

Parody is the cheapest form of creativity, and I have no respect for flimsy knockoffs, no matter what the context.

"Just don't dress up in womens clothing.."?? Isn't that what we were aiming for?

@SinAmos: While I actually think good parody is the rarest and dearest forms of creativity, I totally agree with the latter point.
Flimsy knockoffs are the foot soldiers of the devil.
(I made it through 9 seconds of this one.)

I don't suggest you investigate it or anything, because the original is even worse, but this is a parody of a very overtly gay man's video blog of being upset over people talking about Britney Spear's problems. Just to give you context.

It wasn't even funny. Might have been better had it not been so damn long. I didn't even finish it.
Plus, it's not the first parody so the joke is kinda old already.

the part where he started screaming about Job's brain possibly not human made me chuckle, that was about it.

Whatever, I liked it.
But the original, or any other parody of it, is still too annoying to watch to the end.

@SinAmos: Maybe this wasn't a good example but your "Parody is the cheapest form of creativity" is just as bad.

@ZetaCrossfire:
so do you. Why do you bother clicking on links related to apple in the first place then?
Anyway about the video... I though it was pretty stupid and quite humiliating to me even. I love apple but this is just retarded. Parodies are retarded in the fist place. The only parodies I like even a little bit is the Scary Movies.
