A Little Mac Satire Before Thanksgiving

Arik Hesseldahl

I seriously thought for a minute that I was going to have start swinging a polemic hammer at David Kepplemeyer, the "CEO" of "The Kepplemeyer Group." But about two paragraphs into reading this essay at Danaquarium.com I realized it was satire. So when you read, don't fire off a bunch of indignant comments as so many already have been baited into doing already. The holidays are upon us, people. Have a laugh.

It reminds of another satiric anti-Mac rant, this one which portrayed the Mac as a tool of anti-Christian anti-creationist values. At least I think it was meant as satire.

Ranking right up there along with it is the classic "Is Your Son A Computer Hacker?" which asks if your son has asked to install a computer chip from AMD, which it describes as a "third-world based chip company" and describes "Lunix" as "an illegal hacker operation system, invented by a Soviet computer hacker named Linyos Torovoltos." Sometimes its a little tricky to tell satire from stupidity.
