Dear John, thanks for the report

John Mayer has discovered the bug reporter in Mac OS X. Apparently he’s been doing some rather mean things to his iTunes, because we all know iTunes never crashes unless you do something wrong. As you can see in a screenshot of his report, he all but tells Apple what he had for breakfast.
I’ll admit, it’s probably different from the normal “what is this? Apple why is Safari crashing on MySpace?” John’s idea of how bug reports are handled are a bit different.
I’ll let you know if I get a response from anyone at Apple. I wonder if somebody on the other side is really going to read it … I can hear it now, the squeak of a chair pushing away from a desk as a man grinds his cigarette into an ashtray, stands up waving a printout over his head and screams “WE GOT AN iTUNES CRASH OVER HEEAH!!!” Because in my mind everything looks like a ’60s era spy movie.
I find Mayer’s imagination hilarious over heeah.

I like the desktop. Anyone have a clue what it is?
Holy crap! John Mayer's got nothing going on, right? Nothing! Who has time to type that crap into a bug report! Seriously. He must be sitting around just hoping and praying that someone will talk to him. Holy crap man.
Besides, this is fake. Even if he did send it, and an Apple employee got it, do you think a screenshot like that would have been taken? No. That screen shot is from John Mayer's point of view. Not from that of an Apple bug report reader.
First the Air, now this? What is this infatuation with John Mayer?
@krye, of course it a screenshot from John Mayer's point of view. Where do you think it came from? Hint: the link at the top of the article links to Mayer's blog.
