When your company is headed by someone who regularly finishes in the top three in "World's Most Arrogant Douchebag" contests, it should come as no surprise when everyone from the Taiwanese to a fat young geek begins piling on with pranks and videos targeting said douchebag.
Jobs does a victory dance after winning the "Biggest Douche in the Galaxy" Award. Again.
After Steve Jobs ridiculed Apple's customers and dissed their competition during the press conference where Jobs explained why their "magical" new iPhone 4 loses power and reception if you hold it the wrong way, legions of Apple/Jobs haters swung into high gear with the bloodlust of vicious sarcasm, beginning with the Taiwanese animated history of why Jobs sucks so much, complete with Jobs as Darth Vader:
A few days later, our friends at CollegeHumor re-imagined the scene of Jobs' performance at the arrogance-alooza press conference explaining why the $200-300 phone would only work if you wore a tinfoil hat. Or something.
Adding insult to injury, a geeky kid and his girlfriend (they're going steady -- he gave her his Starcraft II login) went into to an Apple store, and changed all the Apple demo products to display Android-ish wallpapers. When even nerdy teenagers are goofing on you, maybe it's time to eat some humble (Apple) pie.
Will Apple supporters prank Android in return? Or will the challenge go unanswered? Post your predictions below!
One thing that never worked for me in Apple's ads were the fact that they were saying "Who would you rather have represent you, John Hodgman or Justin Long?"
