but whats the deal with steve's voice...? - that doesn't sound anything like him - kibbledbits, on 12/01/2008, -47/+323Yea it was pretty funny. Seems like nobody remembers the episode where Homer starts an 'internet business' which was really no more than a table, paper, a sitck of butter (with pencils in it) and one of those birds that go back and forth. Transcript:
HOMER
Oh, they have the Internet on computers now!
MARGE
Homer, Bill Gates is here.
HOMER
Bill Gates?! Millionaire computer nerd Bill Gates! Oh my god. Oh my god. Get out of sight, Marge. I don't want this to look like a two-bit operation.
Marge groans and rolls her eyes. Bill Gates and two "associates" enter.
GATES
Mr. Simpson?
HOMER
You don't look so rich.
GATES
Don't let the haircut fool you, I am exceedingly wealthy.
HOMER
(quietly to Marge) Get a load of the bowl-job, Marge!
GATES
Your Internet ad was brought to my attention, but I can't figure out what, if anything, CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet does, so rather than risk competing with you, I've decided simply to buy you out.
Homer and Marge step aside to talk privately.
HOMER
This is it Marge. I've poured my heart and soul into this business and now it's finally paying off. (covering his mouth) We're rich! Richer than astronauts.
MARGE
Homer quiet. Acquire the deal.
HOMER
(to Gates) I reluctantly accept your proposal!
GATES
Well everyone always does. Buy 'em out, boys!
Bill Gates companions begin to trash the "office".
HOMER
Hey, what the hell's going on!
GATES
Oh, I didn't get rich by writing a lot of checks! - m4csrgh3yk3v, on 12/01/2008, -11/+236"and they cost $40"

- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -34/+211Can we both agree that at least this is far better than anything that you would see on Family Guy?
- v00doo, on 12/01/2008, -19/+187..."its so sterile"
- nardo510, on 12/01/2008, -68/+227I think South Park would of done a way better job but hey thats just me.
- georgemason01, on 12/01/2008, -12/+167Hi. I just watched the same video you all did and am going to repeat something you all just heard and get dugg for it. I am clever.
- veriix, on 12/01/2008, -0/+134How do you know what steve mobbs sounds like?
- hartley, on 12/01/2008, -28/+151Full episode:
http://www.hulu.com/watch/46689/the-simpsons-mypod ... - Darkspam004, on 12/01/2008, -4/+124such beautiful packaging, I never knew a company could be my soulmate...
- zapa, on 12/01/2008, -85/+201What you learned? Don't get scammed by Apple.
- AboveandBeyond, on 12/01/2008, -6/+98Steve Mobs....you gotta admit...that name fits pretty well...
- ISIfunded911, on 12/01/2008, -20/+102"I think there is something about Mac users, like...they get it".
From the mouth of a Mac owner in the documentary called "The Persuaders" about the deeply manipulative power of advertising, broadcast on CBC and available on emule.
Advertisers consider Mac users (and many other groups: Volkswagen Beetle owners, WWF wrestling fans, Linux users) to be cultists (in interviews with advertisers, they express themselves about their favorite brands like cult members they interviewed express themselves about Fanlun Gong or Hare Krishna), and advertisers use this to better manipulate them by reinforcing their complex of superiority. They say that people joining a cult or a brand do this for exactly the same reasons: "they need to belong, and they want to make meaning. They need to figure what the World is all about, and they need the company of others." The advertising consultant interviewed explains that nowadays a brand manager's job has much more responsibility than thirty years ago; he has "to create and maintain a whole meaning system, through which customers get an identity and understanding of the World. Their job now is to be a community leader."
According to Naomi Klein (author of No Logo), super-brands (like Nike, Starbucks, The Body Shop, Apple) have created a pseudo-spiritual kind of marketing. - junkstore, on 12/01/2008, -3/+83The above replies perfectly highlight the case for the disliking of fanboys.
- roodammy44, on 12/01/2008, -15/+94Gah, when will US media companies realise there's an international audience out there?
- eviltandem, on 12/01/2008, -4/+79It reminds me of the time I built a tree house on top of my monitor...
- netneutrality, on 12/01/2008, -1/+66would have
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -8/+73and I pee on every one of em.
- theone3, on 12/01/2008, -3/+65same guy....
- MacParrot, on 12/01/2008, -5/+67C'mon dude lighten up. I've been a Mac user for over 20 years and I thought it was hysterical. Never take something so simple or arbitrary as a computer preference and make it so part of your life that you can't see the humor in lampooning the worst traits of it.
Of course with a screen name like MacParrot I've been accused of the worst of fanboyism, but I laughed my ass off at Lisa getting her first bill for downloading songs that was so huge it came in a box. - shortyjacobs, on 12/01/2008, -2/+61Hi. I just read the same comment you just wrote and am going to repeat something you just said and get dugg for it. I am clever.
- kibbledbits, on 12/01/2008, -2/+60Sure, but our memories don't give The Simpsons justice. I think the transcript is a helluva lot funnier than my recollection of it.
- joe122370, on 12/01/2008, -11/+69Family Guy will copy the exact same clip next week
- soomprimal, on 12/01/2008, -9/+65I turned on the Simpsons last night to see if they still had it- I was not disappointed!
- edwartica, on 12/01/2008, -6/+62@turpentine They work as good as a pair of 5 dollar headphones and no better.
- Rodik, on 12/01/2008, -3/+53yes, they call him mobbs for a reason...
- burstaneurysm, on 12/01/2008, -1/+49Irony
- dhughes, on 12/01/2008, -2/+49 NARWHALS ***** YEAH!!!
- specialK16, on 12/01/2008, -3/+50ITT:
Idiots that relate OS with social status. READ: SNOBS. - weech, on 12/01/2008, -1/+46LOL
http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/7835/ignboardso ... - MacParrot, on 12/01/2008, -4/+49And when Bart took the audio feed over and had them all outraged enough to attack him? Brilliant!
For those that have never been to a Macworld keynote (most likely most of you), when they finally allow people into the auditorium there's a mob rush reminiscent of the Walmart fiasco in LI last Friday. You'd think they were going to a Who concert in Cincinnati or something. - foolosophy, on 12/01/2008, -48/+92Was it necessary to provide a transcript? You could have just referenced the episode, and I'm sure most of us would know what you were talking about.
- Rockkybox, on 12/01/2008, -1/+45Wow, you are a wenis aren't you?
- iamichi, on 12/01/2008, -37/+76it's funny because it's true.
- inactive, on 12/01/2008, -19/+56If you pay MORE money for identical parts.
If you pay MORE money for the extra service...
If you pay MORE money for the propaganda rather than utility...
That's a scam. - freeridstylee, on 12/01/2008, -3/+39Mobs has lawyers with more time on their hands.
- SilverFox541, on 12/01/2008, -0/+36Just the mapple clip (for those who don't want to watch a full episode):
