Bush Demands Apple Recount

Posted by pudge on from the hee dept.

*no comment* writes "In what may be one of the funniest things since MSN's site saying iMac is the best computer, Apple's news site picked up a story from crazyapplerumors about how George Bush is demanding a recount an Al Gore's election to the Apple board." Rumor sites bad, parody sites good. Remember that the next time you ask for a press pass to Macworld.

    If Gore is an "avid Mac User," what the hell is he doing using Final Cut Pro?

      Because he is sick of watching the 'symphony' through 'windows!'

    If the Board of Directors is a farcical pile of yes-man dead wood, then stuffing it with busy superstars, celebs, & trendy talking heads is the best strategy.

    If the Board of Directors is actually in charge of Apple and running it for the long-term benefit of the shareholders, then the most desirable Directors are those with time to do the job, and experience & ability in areas like running large organizations.

    I think Jobs is pretty good, but his ego, pay, etc. are long overdue for some real control.
