  • weareglass, on 05/01/2008, -1/+41Mmm fruit coccoon...
    • Cocks, on 05/01/2008, -7/+0Nice dick and balls coming out of their fruit bowl logo, huh?

      Seriously. THINK hard enough and you will see it.
      • popfrogs, on 05/01/2008, -0/+14Why does it not surprise me that someone named "*****" made a comment like this?
      • championchap, on 05/01/2008, -2/+1Your name makes it past the word filter.
        I guess they didn't see that coming.
        I have swears starred out so that the college blockers dont see the word "*****" and "*****" over and over again ont he page and not let me access it.
    • JettaMan, on 05/02/2008, -7/+2Does the iPhone even have a JVM or Bluetooth?
      • mentor972, on 05/02/2008, -6/+1@JettaMan - Dumbass.
        • ncapone, on 05/02/2008, -1/+11Why do you @ his name when you replied to his comment?
    • JettaMan, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Are there any Commodore references like GTA: Vice City had?
    • djbon2112, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3I just have to say: Fox Trot did it first. Their "Apple" PC was an iFruit.
  • lackingdiggnity, on 05/01/2008, -10/+225I wonder if GTA's fake internet has virtual fanboys? If so, I bet they've got their knickers in a twist over this.
    • deathboy2098, on 05/01/2008, -3/+108yeah, and, ideally speaking, you would be able to shoot them.
    • usingpond, on 05/01/2008, -21/+13Yeah, that's why the link is to an Apple blog. Maybe Apple fanboys don't take their ***** as seriously as MS fanboys?
    • ifruit, on 05/01/2008, -11/+4my panties are very much twisted over this....
    • GliTCH82, on 05/02/2008, -1/+6I hope the next GTA has a virtual Digg, so I can bury all of the Apple dumbass fanboys twice, then shoot the stupid virtual Mac I'm using afterwards. And what's great is I can load a saved game and do it all over again.
    • jacobj, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2This is an outrage: I'm an Apple user and this is absurd: how dare they!
      Oh, wait, perhaps the Rockstar boys use the net and put this in to see if it'd turn up and cause debates on sites like Digg!!!
    • ep53, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3bPhone - Its a dildo too.
  • dig1x, on 05/01/2008, -16/+3Tossers. ouch.
    • superkendall, on 05/01/2008, -3/+2Strictly speaking, the game webpage is saying you are a "To$$er" if you don't like Apple products...
      • championchap, on 05/01/2008, -1/+3perhaps the use of the $$ means money waster rather than somebody that wanks too much?
  • elbabelba, on 05/01/2008, -33/+161lame. Foxtrot the comic had it first!

    http://www.giantmike.com/ifruit1.html
    • joshinji, on 05/01/2008, -1/+5True this.
    • Tyrghast, on 05/01/2008, -0/+9Truthiness abounds.
    • Gneekman, on 05/01/2008, -1/+7Yeah, way back when the FIRST iMac came out and was actually fruit-like.
    • JettaMan, on 05/02/2008, -3/+5Haha! Moms and stupid people like Apple products.
    • joegibes, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3First thing I thought when I saw the tile.
    • iiBeLiEvE, on 05/02/2008, -2/+1Thought the exact same thing.
    • dig1x, on 05/02/2008, -5/+1Right, because no one had said ifruit before FT.
    • TdiFFRob6876, on 05/02/2008, -3/+1Dugg for Foxtrot reference
    • pearlygate, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1lol for chmod 700*

    • sdcarter, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1New rule: Daily serial comics shall be no more than four (4) squares long.
      New rule2: Comics shall not be overly verbose in an effort by the creator to explain his/her joke to those whom said joke may be above.
  • mobilehavoc, on 05/01/2008, -11/+63I love this game more and more every day...
  • plizard, on 05/01/2008, -18/+3the fake linux one is funny but not accurate :(
  • mattgarcia, on 05/01/2008, -18/+4GTA FTW
  • Spire3660, on 05/01/2008, -21/+18HAHAAH the iFruit logo is a bowl with 2 oranges with a banana in the middle, classic Rockstar! Well played sirs!
    • greenlight2001, on 05/01/2008, -5/+21Simple things for simple minds.
    • chris1012, on 05/02/2008, -5/+2the mac fanboys are digging all of the pro ifruit comments down :( I thought it was funny but I liked it more because mac is *****.
  • rudy23, on 05/01/2008, -17/+5could have been more subtle.
    • mlrigsby, on 05/01/2008, -3/+60 Subtle isn't really Rockstar's thing.
    • ryansmith18, on 05/01/2008, -2/+6That would really clash with the in-your-face humor in the entire series.
    • skribble, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1But then they wouldn't get it.
  • therealfoz, on 05/01/2008, -59/+10not really original.. and not really funny
    BSOD in Halo was funnier
    • nmnnotmyname, on 05/01/2008, -3/+9It's still funny :P I mean come on, it's just an Easter egg.
    • celkin, on 05/02/2008, -2/+9Apple fanboy much?
      • ninja0, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Roger this comment.
        • MRintheKeys, on 05/02/2008, -0/+0Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9'er, you are cleared for take-off.
          Captain Oveur: Roger!
          Roger Murdock: Huh?
          Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9'er.
          Captain Oveur: Roger!
          Roger Murdock: Huh?
          Victor Basta: Request vector, over.
          Captain Oveur: What?
          Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9'er cleared for vector 324.
          Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.
          Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?
          Tower voice: Tower's radio clearance, over!
          Captain Oveur: That's Clarence Oveur. Over.
          Tower voice: Over.
          Captain Oveur: Roger.
          Roger Murdock: Huh?
          Tower voice: Roger, over!
          Roger Murdock: What?
          Captain Oveur: Huh?
          Victor Basta: Who?
  • marnaq, on 05/01/2008, -26/+7WHAT NOW, APPLE APOLOGISTS?
    • luchid, on 05/01/2008, -2/+3What are "apple apologists" supposed to respond to this pretty dumb joke?
  • mywhitenoise, on 05/01/2008, -50/+8Using homophobic insults, real classy.
    • nmnnotmyname, on 05/01/2008, -7/+22Because classy matters in a game with a title like "Grand Theft Auto"
      • mywhitenoise, on 05/01/2008, -10/+8I just don't see why it's acceptable to call people "tossers" or "faggot" in the game, yet they're pretty careful about not using racial slurs.
        • nmnnotmyname, on 05/01/2008, -3/+3Because they're smarter than that? It's obviously much more acceptable to be homophobic than racist, at least over here in the US. And by a very long shot. I'd have to say they'd be pretty ***** if they did anything too racist.
          • mywhitenoise, on 05/01/2008, -7/+5You're an idiot.
          • nmnnotmyname, on 05/01/2008, -4/+3Using intelligence insults, real classy?

            (this is why your logic sucks)
        • melat0nin, on 05/01/2008, -1/+12Tosser means wanker, not faggot. Nothing homophobic about it.
          • mywhitenoise, on 05/01/2008, -10/+1A tosser is someone who licks ass. The term could be used to gays and straights, but usually when someone calls somebody else a "tosser" it's regarded as an insult towards gays.
          • popfrogs, on 05/01/2008, -1/+2What kind of tosser knows the real definition of this?
          • championchap, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6No, melat0nin is correct
            "tosser" is a british word that means somebody who masterbates.
    • mcla0181, on 05/01/2008, -17/+3***** you.

      Gay sex is the single most masculine event on the face of this planet. The Greeks knew what they were doing... Homophobia originates from straight men's insecurity of being forced into the more feminine (receiving) role when interacting with / comparing oneself to gay fellows.

      How about racial slurs... those classy too?

      What about bombing countries full of brown people? Classy?
    • RobotWolf, on 05/01/2008, -0/+27"Tosser" means mastrubator not faggot.

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosser
    • ninja0, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3When you're not an apple fanboy, you dont need class. 8).
  • reginaldino, on 05/01/2008, -6/+33goddamit. i so want this game for pc
    • abyss478, on 05/01/2008, -16/+5so much for your almighty PC gaming machine
      • ZombieKiss, on 05/01/2008, -9/+13Yea, a PC version would blow console versions out of the water mostly because you could have a much, MUCH higher screen resolution. PS3 is at 640p and 360 is at 720p. Granted the game looks fantastic, but a PC would look better (if you had a good enough rig to push it).
        • ZombieKiss, on 05/01/2008, -3/+12lol oh no I'm being buried by the console crowd who don't know a damn thing about computers and screen resolution just that I've insulted their almighty PS3s and Xbox's.

          For the record I own both consoles and enjoy them very much, I just so happen to also have a good computer.
    • Twinnie, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0It's only a matter of time, I don't think they've ever announced a GTA for PC until they've released the console versions. Not since III anyway.
    • ThankTheCheese, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1me too. I've heard speculation of an October-November release, but nothing confirmed :(
    • aussieNickuss, on 05/02/2008, -3/+3Maybe they'll release it for Mac.
  • petebot, on 05/01/2008, -2/+50Looks like I'll have to play this game sooner than I thought before everything from trhe game is posted on the real internet. geez.
    • ats314, on 05/01/2008, -2/+1you bring up a good point. I'm the type of person that closes his eyes during previews of movies I want to see, just so the plot isn't ruined. It is however, literally impossible to avoid seeing spoilers about this game. They are on TV, the internet and every conversation I walk past. What I wouldn't give to be Helen Keller right now. I guess I couldn't play the game then though... Can you tell its 4:00?
    • breezytrees, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1just like that asshole that ruined the heart of the city.
  • DeWallen, on 05/01/2008, -6/+105GTAIV and Apple in the title!?!
    This will have the most diggs of all time within a week.
    • RATM4EVER, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Yep. Even mentioning the two in your comment got you a nice amount of diggs.
  • Zaggy111, on 05/01/2008, -5/+45I would totally buy the iFruit phone, it looks cool.
  • meghalc, on 05/01/2008, -22/+15I love all the negetive Apple stuff going on lately! :)
    • Eibx, on 05/01/2008, -13/+3Dugg!
    • luchid, on 05/01/2008, -10/+5Typical apple haterr: can't even spell "negative" correctly.
      • Chassit, on 05/01/2008, -2/+11How very ironic.
        • ninja0, on 05/02/2008, -2/+2haahahahahhah my thoughts exactly. I don't like apple that much, but i sure as hell know how to spell.
      • meghalc, on 05/02/2008, -1/+2Oh, how can i forget, the english professors are on digg! Buncha bitches dont even get laid, prolly wack off at night looking at the shiney macbook!
    • DanMiller, on 05/01/2008, -8/+4How pathetic your life must be....
    • RobotWolf, on 05/01/2008, -4/+0Guess what kind of computer I have! ANSWER: It doesn't matter, fanboy! Attacking something or someone for representing an opinion contrary to yours is a very primitive behavior. Accept that you could be wrong about something and understand the potential for that in others. You will be a much happier person, guaranteed. Although, having said that, It should be pointed out that companies that manufacture blood pressure medication make a fortune off of people like you. So... invest now, people.
    • meghalc, on 05/02/2008, -1/+1Damn all i was talking about was the Apple company not the Products! lol You apple fanboys are really die hard...If you all saw steve jobs, you probably give him a blow job too lol...I am not Apple or PC fanboy, All of you fanboys are just annoying as hell and I was happy that you all are going crazy over it!
  • sdlvx, on 05/01/2008, -11/+7Apple should have used Granny Smith, not Macintosh.
  • samuraiswordsmn, on 05/01/2008, -2/+23Spotted it last night at the net cafe...
    They also have a Linux parody...
    • HawkeyeMatt, on 05/01/2008, -0/+6Some of the myspace pardoy stuff in the Tw@ cafe is funny as ***** also
      • hardD, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3shame that the internet is unreadable on non-HD tvs.
  • maxer64, on 05/01/2008, -1/+26It's going to take a long time to find everything in IV as far as TV, internet, and radio.. the game is massive.

    And awesome.
  • rsek, on 05/01/2008, -7/+4iBanana
    • ep53, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1bPhone - Its not just an overpriced dildo.
  • abyss478, on 05/01/2008, -10/+12while i use apple on an everyday basis and prefer a mac to a pc, i have to admit that this is funny as hell for rockstar to do this... below the belt, but funny as hell
    • nebkiwi, on 05/01/2008, -2/+7why does everyone explain themselves? yeh, we know its funny, leave it at that, telling people you use a mac is pointless.
    • zongamin, on 05/02/2008, -4/+1'funny as hell'? Its amusing, but its not that ***** funny you spaz
  • SilentRamble42, on 05/01/2008, -14/+20iFruit was funnier when Foxtrot did it.
    • chris1012, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4who cares what one is funnier? They are both funny. Enough said.
  • whiteeagle131, on 05/01/2008, -11/+4Next on digg:
    Hillarious GTA IV Microsoft parody:
    M$ Beasta

    Also, notice that the browser looks like Safari this upcoming one will look like IE
  • Dabisu, on 05/01/2008, -9/+4Hey, that's mean!
  • Trixrox, on 05/01/2008, -10/+9Great stuff, being based on truth makes it even funnier. I would expect to find a bluescreen somewhere as well.
  • RedReplicant, on 05/01/2008, -4/+33Dugg for the Bananaphone.
  • theradical, on 05/01/2008, -4/+38nice brushed steel interface on that browser though. hmm...
  • Labyrinth336, on 05/01/2008, -13/+8Aww.. look at all the offended and sad apple users commenting
    • usingpond, on 05/01/2008, -1/+9... where?
    • MacParrot, on 05/01/2008, -1/+10Really? Most Mac users in this post so far seem to be taking it as intended...to be funny and not serious. Maybe you just need a better sense of humor?
  • Elliottx, on 05/01/2008, -6/+2Ouch......Apple attacked by Grand theft auto.....those bitches be getting a visit from Niko.
  • spacebuddy, on 05/01/2008, -4/+143I would laugh if someone gets Rick Rolled in GTA
    • Chassit, on 05/01/2008, -2/+8That would be ***** awesome!
    • blocguy, on 05/01/2008, -0/+4If the player tried to get onto any YouTube page, it should have rick-rolled them.
    • BedPost, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4I was expecting that to be on the '80s radio station, but alas, I am yet to hear it.

      /20 hours in and still no Astley :(
      • Retnuh730, on 05/02/2008, -4/+220 hours in a game in two days? Get a life, man.
        • LooseSeal, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1Twenty hours isn't a lot if you don't sleep, like me.
    • BJLStorm, on 05/02/2008, -5/+1I was playing GTAIV, and I got rickrolled in the game! I videotaped it:
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
      • aussieNickuss, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3You honestly didn't think that would be effective did you? Idiot.
  • DrunkenSavior, on 05/01/2008, -5/+9I think it's funny....and I like Apple.
    • luchid, on 05/01/2008, -3/+1Same here, though I think they could have done a better job at mocking Apple.
  • usingpond, on 05/01/2008, -16/+8Considering most of Rockstar's office is probably Macs, and the fact that they have a good sense of humor, I don't think any Apple fanboys are really taking offense.
    • Chunken, on 05/01/2008, -1/+10Doubt it. I've worked for a few videogame companies and I haven't seen a single mac in any of them.
      • usingpond, on 05/01/2008, -9/+4Thank you, Internet Expert.
        • melat0nin, on 05/01/2008, -0/+8I live ten mins from Rockstar North's offices, and you can see in the window that they use PCs.
        • thecatcantalk, on 05/01/2008, -4/+7My friend wrote graphics for videogames for quite a while...and he only owns Linux and Microsoft boxes at home. There's a reason why there aren't any good games for the Mac platform. Sorry. I love my old Macs, but since Windows XP, there's no longer any reason to buy one (except to impress people in coffeeshops).
    • thescimitar, on 05/01/2008, -3/+2They're in the creatives' offices... next to the weed and beer.
    • chris1012, on 05/02/2008, -0/+1How does that make sense? Most video games are developed on microsoft platforms. Why? Because they are created for PC or xbox 360 and then ported to ps3.

      No one makes ***** games on mac ***** but I am happy that some mac users find ifruit funny. It helps me realize that not all of them are tossers.
  • EggNogIceCream, on 05/01/2008, -2/+4Digg me down if you want, but how do you scroll down in GTAs internet?
    • lcmatt, on 05/01/2008, -0/+8Left analog stick - move the cursor
      Right analog stick - scroll up and down
      Not sure if it's the same on the PS3 but that's how you do it on the 360.
    • thehuntedpossum, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2PS3 too
  • joemofo214, on 05/01/2008, -3/+5Your not thinking hard enough, maybe your a tosser...


    haha, best mac parody ever
  • badnewsblair, on 05/01/2008, -3/+32I too am an Apple fan, but find this quite funny and well done. You can't really get offended at a parody, kids. Chill.

    Also, I just wanted to clear up the "To$$ers" thing. It doesn't mean what you think it does. In GTA world, the Windows-like OS is called TOS (like DOS). In previous GTAs, there was a talk show with a Windows user and an Apple user (TO$$ER and FRUIT).
  • weatherbred, on 05/01/2008, -8/+0weak. me and my friends have been making these jokes forever
    • MacParrot, on 05/01/2008, -0/+1your friends and you have been doing this forever?
    • Lewiji, on 05/01/2008, -0/+2How enthralling your friendships must be.
    • RobotWolf, on 05/01/2008, -0/+0If you think the little details of your life would be even of the slightest interest to anyone, ever... Maybe you're a to$$er.
      Do you think that the joke was weak because you and your friends thought of it previously?
      Or because your joke was better?
      Either way... you're a To$$er.
    • dacheetah, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2Lies, there are only two magical all knowing beings who have been around forever to make such jokes, and you are neither Cthulu nor Santa Claus.
  • socoolisme, on 05/01/2008, -2/+45a tosser is someone who uses the Technical Operating System, a parody of Microsoft Windows.
    • bumblefoot, on 05/01/2008, -0/+8thank you, i thought i was the only person who remembered the two guys who argued about fruit and tos operating systems on GTA san andreas radio
  • JeffMaster, on 05/01/2008, -9/+1yeah, well all I have to say about that, is look at the rates of popularity of windows? Hmm...? is there a single vista lover out there? yes, laugh all you want, but the jokes on you microsoft lovers
  • mdavis, on 05/01/2008, -6/+7an Apple parody??? What will they think of next?
  • Rikka, on 05/01/2008, -7/+2anyone notice the logo? it's a bowl of two round fruits, and a banana in between.
  • dicepackage, on 05/01/2008, -4/+3I prefer the microsoft version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyaJCgFLP9U) of the iphone to the GTA one.
  • thecatcantalk, on 05/01/2008, -6/+6YOU ARE IN A COCOON.
    AN OVERPRICED COCOON.
    *SLEEP NOW*

    *calling over shoulder*
    "SHUT IT DOWWWWWN!"
  • Borgcube636, on 05/01/2008, -3/+15I think this is an accurate representation of Apple
  • whytey, on 05/01/2008, -1/+5Where's the Linux Parody?
  • deanimate, on 05/01/2008, -4/+1rockstar better look out.
    someone might send them an applebomb.
  • Fraser484, on 05/01/2008, -2/+1Might be fake, but sure as hell sounds real to me.
  • BenjaminWill, on 05/01/2008, -13/+3Ahh, Apple envy at its finest. Commencing Digg down from stuck-up MS fanboys in 3, 2, 1...
    • RobotWolf, on 05/01/2008, -0/+11You do realize that by interpreting the joke as "Apply envy," That you're being a "stuck-up" Apple fanboy?
      Didn't think so.
    • Insanitation, on 05/01/2008, -1/+5You dont need to be a fanboy of something else to think Apple sux.
  • BenjaminWill, on 05/01/2008, -18/+2People don't seem to get this parody, it's more a jibe at PC fanboys and their incessant need to condemn all things Apple than it is of Rockstar poking fun at Apple.
  • jayscot, on 05/01/2008, -9/+6Little gadgets people can sit around and fiddle with. It's fun to watch the skinny little iDrones fiddling with their latest gadgets while googling the latest global climate change scam.
