"macster, you'll probably never read this, but the first line you quoted was blatently sarcastic"
Sure I read this, I'm not some anonymous coward, I post here all the time. And I'd like to believe it was blatantly sarcastic, perhaps it was, however, that is irrelevant, because the 5 others just like it weren't.
I'm usually very nice when posting, and I really like all my Macs, but sometimes the fanboyism and idiocy is just too much to take without comment.
Yes, they said "Apple Computers" instead of "Apple Computer" or better yet, "Apple", and they messed up which computer was which. Yes, yes, I noticed, but who the heck cares; the skit had nothing to do with Apple, they were just using a well know icon to make point, in a very funny way.
"...plan not showcasing Appleâs products, which by the way would have made it so much better. âº"
Seriously, I can't make this stuff up. Yes, on Mad TV, a satirical skit "showcasing" Apple's products would of been so much better, I can't agree more! I mean it, I totally agree, I'm that freakin' stupid!
I remember watching this when it first aired. I thought it was going to just be a worse version of Fred Armisen's great Jobs impression, but the iRack killed me. Great stuff.

How can anyone watch that and then suggest there "might" be an undertone about Iraq? These comments made me really fear for a lot more people in the US than I originally feared for. I thought at least the Apple users we could rely on... I guess that's not entirely true.
Awesome skit! I love it! Scary to think how likely the "iRan" may be.

"If you listen closely, I think this sketch had a second meaning."
First off, that was totally funny. Second off, are you people dumb as a box of rock? Seriously, can you tie your own shoes?
"If you listen closely...", really? Closely? I hope you're joking.
"... it's kinda rippin on the war", really, no kidding, is oxygen kinda gettin' to your brain.
I like this site, but I wish the comments were decent, it would make this a great site, man does it need moderation, ala, slashdot.
Am I think only one really annoyed by the fact that they keep saying "Apple Computers" (in the plural)?
