a nation of idiots

Any optimism I have regarding the future of this country is tempered by stories like this:

iFart and Pull My Finger, the two gladiators, joined the App Store at around the same time, and both achieved some success. iFart eventually pulled ahead, but through some underhanded tactics, like using the phrase “pull my finger” in videos and publishing a review from the app’s creator saying his own app is “better than Pull My Finger.” (He justifies this by saying “Of course, I have the right to state my opinion, especially one I believe to be true!”)

In response, the makers of Pull My finger, Air-O-Matic, asked Apple to step in and quiet the flatulent fighting, but Apple left the players to settle it between themselves.

Bill Maher has more:

Can we get any stupider? Stupid question.

    I like anything that reduces the “smug” factor of anything made by Apple.

    This is hilarious.

    After reading the article, I am repulsed by this, as well. It repulses me that there are TWO attorneys who would take up this case hahahaha
