Ellen made a spoof iPhone ad and we though that it was pretty funny, but Apple seems to think otherwise.
After the spoof was aired earlier this week, the Apple people contacted Ellen and told her that they didn’t think it was funny. Instead, the spoof, Apple said, made the iPhone look like it’s difficult to use.
Apple was so offended by the spoof that it made Ellen apologise on her show. “Everybody at Apple, Steve Jobs, Mr Macintosh, I apologise. I’m sorry,” she said.
Oh come one. Everyone knows the iPhone is not difficult to use but the Ellen’s spoof is kind of what’s really happening. We know heaps of iPhone users who accidentally sent the wrong text because of the over eager auto correct robot. It happens to us at least a couple of times in a day. How about you?
This is not the first time Apple products where made the butt of talk show jokes. David Letterman made the iPad look like it is almost impossible to use on his show and the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart called Apple appholes. With Ellen’s apology to Apple will it spell the end of Apple spoofs?
It’s no big deal Apple. Jobs, you’ll still be selling the new one by the millions. Let up a bit will ya.
Check out the spoof after the jump. You’d better hurry, it might not be there long due to copyright and whatever.
