Oh bloody hell,

Oh bloody hell. You lost a few insensitive souls that can not follow the logic. Like ferris’ day off and the girl who heard from the grapevine that he’s on his death bed.

Then you have the typical mentality of some countries where they do not care who they harm and who they kill as long as it’s not one of them. Notice: I be nice and name not countries so you think for self and maybe not be prejudice biased like your bloody hart do usual. ><

Pee out.

Well, you have a right to say and do whatever you want, but your attitude in your update sealed the deal for me personally. In fact though I thought your initial comment was insensitive but I considered the source and just moved on, but that response was just over the top. I know you can care less, but this is indeed my last visit to your site.

Oh Doc, what’s wrong with these people?

The guy didn’t commit suicide. The whole thing is a Media Stunt. FoxConn and Apple conspired for some more free media attention. It’s an Apple specialty, and others like to learn from the best. Look at all the free press these two have gotten over some guy laying in the middle of the street so some pictures could be taken. Over what, a 4G phone that will only play on the Sprint network? What’s Apple trying to do, compete with Pre?

I know, I know, i’m insensitive too, and 4G can mean more than the signal. But, when you look at the source and the country, who’s to be trusted.

Thanks Doc for at least going against the grain and not presenting the story in the same Dim / Bright light (depending on your perspective) as everyone else.

Keep up the insane work.

On a Side note: I know some of your audience thinks you are a friend with that Michael Savage guy by now, but I’m sure you hang out with PETA and Greenpeace just the same. So, after speaking with Al Gore and the Gang, it could also be that this guy was just doing his part to fight global warming. Can you check with your extended array of sources and get back to me?

Well, Doc. Tasteless humor may not be to everyone’s liking, and I guess people were caught off guard reading it here. But in the end this certain case is sad. On the upside, it helps China’s population problem a little.

Cheers,

I feel like, considering Apple even released a statement about this incident, the prudent thing would be to update this posting. I mean, it seems obvious. Your snark even promises a recant if facebook mentions it.

Wow, Dr. Macenstein, you’re a real jerk for making fun of a story like this.

Also, Apple said that the story was true and so, I think you should update this article, since it acutally IS true.

I think you’ve lost a lot of readers just by posting this shitty blog post. I’m not coming back on this website again.

Bad taste? Have you people ever read a newspaper or watched network news? News media is an industry notorious for intentionally slanting their coverage due to political leanings, etc. It’s not exactly a morally righteous business when it attempts to tell the public how to think. That’s a far more serious issue to me than an “insensitive” article, or headline.

If you didn’t notice, this is a BLOG…. I’m pretty sure that the expectations of politically correctness are lower here. If you want run-of-the-mill writing, go pick up a copy of “The Daily Outdated Medium” or some such.

For those who actually added value to the comments, I thank you.
