You Aussies Crack Me Up!

In a co-co-ordinated protest, an estimated three Apple shoppers gathered outside the Apple Store in Southland, waving banners that read ''Make your own phones, Samsung!'' and ''Samsung, you Sam-SUCK!!!'', all tastefully designed on Macbook Airs using high-end graphics software. The angry mob marched all the way to Pretzel World, then to Gloria Jean's, then back to the Apple Store, much slower, balancing Pretzel-Dogs and overfilled large Caramelattes.

Vinno the iHater, who set up the Facebook page ''What's Worse? Buying an iPhone 5 or Getting Kicked In The Sack?'' Under police protection is Techie The Tech-Head who podcasted that the iPhone 5's mapping app was vastly inferior to Google maps. Enraged iPhone-owners organised a rally outside his house but used their phones for directions and wound up heading for a non-existent bridge on top of a mountain in the middle of Port Phillip Bay.

One of the best "Onion" style pieces I have read in ages.
I love Apple. I've been using Apple since before the MAC. I still have a personal MacBook Pro 190 [possibly the best thing i have ever used to write on, definitely the easiest and nicest to use and read from] and a huge MAC flat panel something on my desk [for three times the price it does exactly what my PC does], but I just don't get the cult of Apple that seems to have developed in the last decade.

I am Aussie and I think maybe I have missed the point of this thread entirely.

The article I linked is a mock news report of the Apple Iphone 5 vs Samsung Galaxy S3. It's an Australian website. I'm showing appreciation for the comedy.

Apple fanboism is an exercise in cognitive dissonance.
