A refreshing new episode of the Simpsons came out last night, amongst the highlights was the spin on the “Apple subculture” and the ‘coolness’ of it all. It pretty much summed up my thoughts on the whole elitist crowd of sour Apples.
From the clip:
You’re all losers.
You think you’re all cool because you buy a $500 phone with a picture of a fruit on it? Well guess what? It costs $8 to make and I pee on every one.
I have made a fortune out of you chums, and I’ve invested it all on Microsoft. Now my boyfriend Bill Gates and I kiss each other on a pile of your money.
- Bart Simpson as Steve Mobs
Bart You legend, summed up my thoughts exactly. Following that speech you can see the inspiration from the 1984 Apple commercial following.
The embedded version appears below as the Youtube version has been yanked, this is from DailyMotion thats still kicking.
It also touched on the touchy subject of Muslims in these uncertain times.

Heres something you dont see everyday. Channel 10 – of Big Bother, So You Think Yer Ken Dance and Australian Idol fame – and such awesome shows as Rove and the only link to The Simpsons in Australia has been caught showing subliminal messages during the 2007 ARIA Music Awards.
During the introduction of nominated artists for the October 2007 telecast, Network Ten broadcasted quick one-frame bursts of sponsor logos, which included Chupa Chups, Big W, Olay, Telstra BigPond, KFC and Toyota.
The ABC’s Media Watch program revealed the breach and ACMA received several complaints shortly after.
ACMA reviewed the material and found the “rapid-cut graphics used in the program was a technique that attempted to convey information to viewers below or near the threshold of normal awareness”.
ACMA said Network Ten argued the rapid-cut graphics were intended to be creatively consistent with the fast-paced look and feel of the music presentations.
So if you ever wondered why you suddenly headed out straight away to bring home the chicken sucking away at a chuppa chup last year, there may be a reason.
Seriously, Yvan eht nioj?
