    This juvenile, defensive, unfunny copy on the Mac Pro posters is positively upsetting http://j.mp/17sS9jr Between this and the Sotheby’s glitz-crap, it’s like all the middle-age insecurities of Apple management are leaking through in their products.

                            @zackary 100% real, sadly.

                                @mrgan who are they appealing to with that copy? Bros who are shy about swearing?

                                    @tonyskyday That’s what I’ve never understood about childishly censored swear words, either. Either say it or don’t—otherwise it’s tofu cheese.

                                        @mrgan Wow. That’s crazy. If you’re going to go that way at least have the balls to swear explicitly. It’s incredible that copy came from Apple.

                                            @gte @mrgan Is this a prank? It's absurd. Even apart from the $#&% it's amateurish.

                                                    @danielpunkass @gte Not a prank. Just shitty writing.
