    Haha,

    … 20 minutes without charging … that is really funny!

    Greetings from germany

    Is it me or is this fucking BS?
    I love Apple products but this…. I can’t find any advantage at all. It will take like 2 hours to wheel a document that takes 45 minutes to type??

    Okay now I got it… just saw the onion news logo LOL

    This is really funny, the people who made this must have had a laugh or two.

    That’s one of the funniest things Ive seen in a LONG time.

    “… resists all damage unless dropped or hit ….”
    “… 45 minutes to write an email ….”
    “Available in 3 to 15 months ….”
    What a SCREAM ! lol

    And didja see how the email had, like, 3 or 4 words in a row written in caps? lol
    The guy couldn’t get it ta work right! lol

    Genius — sheer genius.

    this was one of the most hilarious and well done jokes i have seen in ages…i think it is a masterpiece and deserves much props…

    LOVED IT!
