Do satirists really have to put 3-inch high neon-glo banners saying "SATIRE" at the top of a page? No company in the history of US business has ever charged money to go into a store. That tells you right there it HAS to be bogus, even if you missed the phrase "While Apple Geniuses patrol inside the store, Apple "Muscleheads" will guard the window displays and entrances." Anybody who can read that and not realize they are reading satire should just refrain from offering any opinions about anything. | |

Has anyone on this thread been to the Apple Store since the iPhone launch? Not such a big deal. I played with a phone IMMEDIATELY on that Saturday, the day after the launch, at the very same store where Woz waited in line all day, and bought it without waiting in line.

My attempt at satire, not even Apple would do something like charging to enter a store. Of course it isn't true.

1 edit | said by Johnny :Do satirists really have to put 3-inch high neon-glo banners saying "SATIRE" at the top of a page? Unfortunately, yes. We are a nation of over-stimulated, under-educated morons. Critical thought is going the way of the dodo, though I'll admit there will always be a portion of the population that just doesn't understand satire no matter what.
No company in the history of US business has ever charged money to go into a store.
Disneyland.
EDIT
Also Costco and Sam's Club.

Disney does not charge to go into their stores, only their theme parks.

Way to find a small, meaningless loophole. You still can't buy anything.

Their parks are gigantic stores with rides. The ticket prices would be a lot higher if they didn't sell their merchandise there.

You're going to resort to that moronic attempt for logic by claiming that theme parks are stores because they have stores in them? The Army has stores on their bases, but you cant buy anything there either unless you have proper ID.
Of course, your logic is supporting Ron Paul. I find it hilarious that Bush-haters support a Republican from Texas who is anti-abortion, against gay marriage, and against stem cell research.
