MacBook Wheel Introduced [Humor]

[homeward]

Elevator Picture

Thanks for that picture of the iWheel in the elevator. It was so funny I cried.

 

[happydude]

very funny, gotta love the onion!!

 

[iAthena]

I like the part where the guy says "I'm buy anything that's shiny and made by Apple." LMAO

That's the line I laughed hardest at too.

 

[gkarris]

great satire. pokes fun at all us apple fanboys/fangirls

Where's the Firewire Port?

Does it come WITH the remote?

APPLE STORE IS DOWN!

I'm in line right now...

 

[lazyrighteye]

So well done.
Spot. On.

"People who use keyboards standing in the way of human progress."

 

[bigjnyc]

LOL!! that was awesome. i loved it.

 

[chainprayer]

the high end model was personally kissed and had the wheel rotated one time by steve jobs himself

best post i have ever seen!

 

[autrefois]

that was soooo funny.

and so real-ish.

love the small little things apple does that they blew up and over exaggerated. Fantastic.

That's what's best about it. It's obviously fake and exaggerated, but there's a little element of truth in just about everything in that video.

love this watched it 10 times..... "Virtually indestructible, unless dropped or hit"

This is the best Apple parody in a long time, in my opinion! Very well done! I especially liked all the random errors that were in the email to his friend.

 

[PowerFullMac]

Hilarious!

I even downloaded this into my HD!

 

[Gravity]

i CaN't sToP LaUgHINg!

I wonder if the Beijing Evening News will reprint this as fact like they did when the Onion ran a story about the US Congress threatening to leave Washington unless a new Capitol was built...including the Capitol being fitted with a retractable dome. "If we want to stay competitive, we need to upgrade."

The best thing was the Chinese paper's response...

Yu Bin, the editor in charge of international news...adamantly ruled out a correction and grew slightly obstreperous when pressed to comment on the article's lack of truth.

"How do you know whether or not we checked the source before we published the story?" Yu demanded in a phone interview. "How can you prove it's not correct?"

My favorite spoof is still the Apple iRaq:

What possessed you guys to link to HULU for an ONN video when HULU is only available in the US while ONN is available everywhere? Why? Bloody Yanks.

Here is the original link on theonion.

( It takes a while to get used to typing on this thing )

The aardvark admitted it was wrong.

[branjosef]

[jedidove]

Best part is the shortcut for searching displaying the hard drive contents. Pressing the two opposite sides of an apple click wheel at the same time is impossible lol!

 

[jojo13]

hahahahahah so funny hahahaha
the quality of the parodie is... awesome.

 

[broncopde]

Simply Genius! As The Onion always is.

 

[Small White Car]

Completely ripped off a sketch from Peter Serafinowicz. For shame The Onion.

They're both making fun of the same things about Apple, but they've done them in different ways.

Or do you think once someone has made a joke about a subject, that subject is off limits forever?

If so, Serafinowicz is stepping on "Saturday Night Live" since they made up the 'iPod Micro' a good 2 years before Serafinowicz made his video. Does that make Peter wrong? Of course not.

 

[leishan]

Gotta love the Onion!!

 

[MacAlpha]

Yay!!! I just ordered the 40GB model

 

[Dmac77]

Honestly, this wouldn't surprise me. If Ive decides that it looks better then a keyboard Jobs will say okay. Apple has decided that looks are more important then brains.

Can't we emulate the Macbook Wheel on our new multitouch mousepads?

C'mon, someone out there must have the kexts from a development Macbook Wheel, or a developer version of the OS that we can hack around with!
