Oh my gawd. So like, did you hear what NBC Universal did to Apple? It’s totally trying to make Apple like totally jealous, you know? After they broke up, like, what? Last month or whatever? When everyone was being all “ohhh my gawd they’re fighting again blah blah.” Well anyway NBC was all like “Apple you don’t deserve me” and Apple’s like “psh woman I got other media distributors for my store” and they were spreading these rumors about each other and then NBC started bragging about some fling named Hulu, a cheap Hawaiian floozy or something. So Apple’s all like trying to play the victim and tells NBC that they’re done…like done done, you know? So then they’re like officially “broken up” and NBC moves out and everything. Well see NBC gets all pissed ‘cuz most of its stuff is still at Apple’s place and NBC wants to keep it there in storage until it can, like, find somewhere to move in December or something, but Apple wants to just throw it all out. So like as payback I guess NBC, which is a vindictive little brat, went on a date with Amazon to — you’ll never guess this one — the restaurant where Apple buses tables, and the company had to, like, actually clean up after them and stuff. And now, gawd, now the gossip papers are talking about media-whore NBC and its new flavor-of-the-week boy-toy “NBC Direct” (jeez, love yourself much?). Everybody knows NBC is just using Direct to make Apple jealous, but the service is so whipped and dense it doesn’t have a clue what’s going on. It doesn’t even work on Macs, which is like Apple’s big thing, you know? And NBC’s being all smug about it like it’s hot stuff. What-ever.
Gawd it feels like we’re in high school again with all this drama and crap. NBC is sleeping with anyone with a broadband connection, obviously just looking for attention, and Apple’s being all indifferent about it like it’ll just fix itself. You know they still love each other and wanna go out again but they’re so…like…ugh. And all of us get caught in the middle of their pathetic whiny little games. It’s like the whole Universal family is screwy in the head. They should all just grow the hell up. Srsly.
(Trust me: that was as painful for me as it was for you.)

I'm feeling pretty degraded.
Like, I loved your post. Honestly, corporate politics can be like children. Can't we all just get along?
Like OMG Steve! He like, totally set "Give peace a chance" for when NBC like calls! LOL!
Good article, Dan. I'd rather spend my time in class reading MacUser instead of paying attention for 2.5 hours.
I was laughing so hard by the end of the article I almost wet myself and my iPod almost came out of my nose. Very clever.
