Yeah that's fine but.... that was a really lame parody ad!
"Funny right?" she asked...
Ummm NO!! You are actually making fun of vision challenged people who have difficulty using otherwise great products. ]]>May 4th 2010 6:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/May 4th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/too bad Apple doesn't.]]>May 4th 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/May 4th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/

That makes me mad and not because it's Apple. No comedian should ever have to apologize for a harmless joke such as that. What the fuck is wrong with Apple?]]>May 4th 2010 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/
I doubt they would have said anything official since she's firmly protected by "parody", and they don't say much unofficially.

So it was probably just Ellen riffing on the "Angry Apple" that's prevalent in the news lately.

Ah this is what happens when you make fun of an American Idol sponsor, you end up on TV grovelling for forgiveness.

"it's probably just part of the joke, cause apple wouldn't ever do such a thing" Holy crap are you guys getting paid to be loyal? Or better yet are they blackmailing you?

Every day that goes by I want to own Apple products less and less. I love(d) my PowerBook G4 (no longer my primary computer due to it's slowness and five minute battery life, but it was my faithful companion for years and I still use it as a DVD player) but good grief, folks! That fake commercial was hilarious, it didn't even seem to be making fun of Apple, and if she had to apologize for THAT....

Remember when Apple was the cool, outsider company with a sense of humor? RIP.... :(]]>May 4th 2010 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/May 4th 2010 9:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/04/ellen-pokes-fun-at-apple-and-then-apologizes/

I never thought I'd see a lesbian blowing Steve Jobs like that.

Ok that was wrong. I'm sorry.

I still don't understand the appeal of Apple. They're stylish I guess? Can't stand the OS. It just doesn't feel right. Don't know. It just seems like everyone got overcome by the same type of hype as those folks who actually thought Avatar was a good movie. It's pretty, but otherwise full of itself and nowhere near as good as people claim. Like Apple products.

We all have our own opinions I guess. It's all subjective.

Keep up the good work Ellen. Say whatever you want. It's entertaining and in the end, that's what you're there for.
