Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories
they burn because they can't shut the fuck up about how great their Macs
are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their
mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching
about how much better Macs are than PCs. They regurgitate lines directly
from Apple's marketing campaign, like "it just works." I have the following
rebuttals to this argument:
Waaaah, boo hoo! I can't drag and drop! Dumbass. Looks like your Macs aren't
perfect after all, which leads me to my second point:
2. Fuck you.
I don't know why Mac users get so defensive when you call them idiots.
I mean, Apple is a company that has built its entire user base
around the fact that its users can't do simple things like turn their
computers on. Hell, most Mac users can't even talk without using their
hands, which ranks their intelligence somewhere between a simian and
hog shit:
1. If everything on a Mac just works,
then why
does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, assholes? Here are a few choice
topics on macfixitforums.com:
-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!
Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:
An artist. In a band. Unemployed (see above).
After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person
was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community?
It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole! I feel like Apple is not
just selling computers, they're seling a way of life, and I'm not ready to
be that heavily invested in a product. I think this parody helps illustrate
Apple's unspoken message:
iTunes is the new Real Player:
In doing research for this article, I decided to reinstall iTunes, a program I hadn't used since version 4 (now on 7). Here it is, just working:
Back in the late 90s, everyone used Real Player. Then those cocks at Real Network got greedy, and tried to get their application to take over your entire PC, and people stopped using it. Same thing is happening with Quicktime now. You can't install Quicktime anymore unless you download bullshit iTunes. This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Ditch this bullshit.
54,548 Mac fans switched back over to Windows, even though Windows is just as shitty.
