Ashton Kutcher To Play Steve Jobs In Upcoming Film

An anonymous reader writes "Variety is reporting that Ashton Kutcher – who you likely recognize from That 70s Show, Punked, and Two and a Half Men – has been tapped to play Apple co-founder Steve Jobs in an indie film titled 'Jobs', based on a script from Matt Whiteley. The film will chronicle Steve Jobs from wayward hippie to co-founder of Apple, where he became one of the most revered creative entrepreneurs of our time."

I have a much harder time working out why Ashton is revered!

Why he is revered, is that so difficult? Why he is chosen is maybe a bit more obvious after seeing this...

This is something all the Jobs-worshipping Apple fanboys overlook. He was a notorious asshole boss, known to berate employees until they were reduced to tears or fire employees at the end of an elevator-ride chat if they shared an idea he didn't like. These sudden firings were known to Apple employees as "being Jobs'd."

And the guy bought a new Mercedes every 6 months so that he wouldn't have to put plates on it under California law, and then parked in handicap spots everywhere he went. That tells you a lot about him.
