No No No....No!

Check out this Bollywood video from the movie Singh is Kinng featuring.....Snoop Dogg!!!





Snoop hon-eyyy......no no no no no. I liked you on TLW and loved you on Weeds with your MILF song, but this is too creepy, even for you! As if country wasn't enough, he had to stoop even lower! Plus, what's with these Bollywood movies....as if people aren't making fun of them enough....well, on the bright side, it's a break from running around the trees...almost!

A typical Apple user

No matter how good of a therapist I become, there's one thing I'll never get...make that one category of people I'll never get - Mac users/Apple devouts/ Steve Jobs fanatics!!! And because I don't get them, I don't like them...it's THAT simple!

So what's the hooplah all about? I have used macs and ipods and iphones, I know the features of these things but somehow, I don't see what other people see in those Apple products. Am I unlucky or just lucky and smart? I'm really hoping someone would explain this to me - hopefully someone who really knows these products (or at least 80% of an Apple product, which I believe only 10% of users do!)

Now lets take a closer look at the Apple product user, shall we?
So who is this user? What does he/she do? What does he/she look like? What makes him/her go for this product?
Judging from the users I've come across, a typical Apple product user is:
  • A person who believes that any Apple product he/she is using is the best and no other product can come close to it;
  • A person who is ignorant about what else is available in the market (which includes cheaper YET better products than Apple);
  • A person who doesn't know how to use most of the features of his/her Apple product (but believes he/she does);
  • A person who buys this product just to look cool/white/rich/educated/in/savvy or worse - a combination of all these things!
  • A person dumb enough to fall for Jobs' marketing gimmicks;
  • A person who believes God = Jobs (not the other way 'round);
  • A person who is totally oblivious to the FACTS mentioned above;
  • A person who, when confronted with these things, says "Oh yeah? Maybe you're all those things and you're ignorant" because Jobs didn't teach him a smarter comeback!

So there you have it, a typical Apple user. This list isn't exhaustive, and I am sure I missed out a lot of things, so feel free to add yours.
