Funny stuff that made me laugh

What do the authors of Grand Theft Auto IV think about Apple users? Tossers. (Warning: definition link NSFW). They've embedded a brilliant Apple parody into one of the Internet cafe computers in the game.

Among other points, they take down Apple (called "Fruit") for being overpriced minimalism. A white shiny unit, superficially similar to the "i" sits next to a near-cinema display and readers are encouraged to "Think Fruit" and live in the Fruit Cocoon.

And if that's not enough, the site advertises a new banana-shaped iFruit phone. Its sales points made me laugh out loud: No buttons, no reception, no storage capacity, all Ego!

Haha... I had a Creative Zen Vision M 60GB music player, but it broke and I hand in for repair. But I had to choose a replacing player. The only option was the iPod. Wish I had never done that. I understand the guys from Rockstar games...

I was driving when I heard an advert for the iFruit Phone on the radio. I really should have been concentrating on where i was driving, but i just had to have a laugh. Can't wait for the missions when i can take down Fruit.

I also bought and I pod mini 6 Gb for a whopping £160!!!

Back when I was at uni and it was the 'in' thing. It was a fun toy for two weeks and then i'm like - Ok just why am I carrying this piece of **** I pod around and why did I pay for it when I could have just bough a memory card for my phone???

I felt like a to$$er for wasting my money. Thank you apple for making me feel like a to$$er.

Really, I only bought one because everyone else had one ....

Kids these days.
