Steve Jobs as Willy Wonka? I like it! Can’t go wrong with the best product manufacturer of the past decade with one of the all time great movies.
What is the magic behind Apple? Go on the factory tour ride and find out.
Steve Jobs as Willy Wonka
While I am an iPhone and iPad fanboy, I couldn’t help but appreciate this video from Funny or Die. Hilarious use of original Apple footage with some actors spliced in.
“it’s going to change the world than anything since Jesus Christ… and to be honest, it blows Jesus Christ out of the fucking water”
Great video, and great coverage by Adam Scott, everyone’s favorite up and coming “that guy”!
I love the Onion! Nothing better than a joke newspaper writing awesome headlines that make me laugh at least once a week. Over the past few years, they have also gradually added video to their site and some of the videos they produce are also quite good!
Yesterday they released a fake news story in honor of the MacWorld expo that is happening this week. Excellent timing and a very well done joke news story about a fictitious new product by Apple. They do a great job of playing up the biases that many people have toward Apple’s innovations (i.e. everything they put out is better than everything else) and also touch on the fact that often “easy to use” and “practical” are two different things.
My favorite line(s):
“everything is just a few hundred clicks away”
“I’ll buy almost anything if it’s shiny and made by apple”
“I like sending an email that says ‘sent from a MacBook Wheel’ – that lets everyone know you have one”
