Haha had to post this video that I found on youtube today - a spoof of the Fiest - 1234 Apple iPod Nano advert that plays every 15 mins on tv at the moment. True though… Droves of people are still willing to stick with XP over upgrading to Vista (it’s hard for some to afford decent hardware), but all my Apple fanboy friends (save those who have shared bank accounts :p ) immediately have to purchase whatever the latest Apple product is as a matter of life or death at the risk of losing membership to their prestigious iClique.

Wait a second… which company was it again with the anti-competitive monopoly, price-gouges the market and leaves the consumer feeling like they have no control over endlessly forking over their savings for their next hit?

Seriously… Microsoft Fanboys, Apple fanboys and *insert company name here* fanboys all shit me (just as much as idiots obsessing over Holden Vs Ford). You’re all idiots. Companies exist for profit, none of them are altruistic (despite being the current marketing angle) and are only “innovative” when forced into it by competition. Want to be an iClone/MicroSlave? Lock yourself in for no other reason that feeling like you belong to some group that makes you special. Here’s an idea - if an iPod is the best mp3 player for what your looking for - buy it…. If Windows Vista or Ubuntu tickles your fancy, buy it/download + donate it. But don’t be a slave to these sleezy marketing staff simply because they have discovered the power of cultism. They all suck. That this is a newsflash to some of you is deeply disturbing.

Still, at least it provides Amy and myself with something to giggle over.
