Taiwan news animates Steve Jobs as Darth Vader - Monday video (NSFW-D)

Evil Steve Jobs as Darth Vader video

Taiwan news decided to have a little -- fun? -- with Apple and iPhone 4 by casting Steve Jobs as Darth Vader, laughing as Foxconn workers jump off buildings, and light-sabering off the fingers of customers who complain about reception problems.

It's sensationalistic, callus about the suicides, and convenient in casting blame entirely on Apple for the problems of Taiwanese and Chinese owned businesses, and some might find the imagery disturbing. Consider yourself warned before you hit the play button. But, hey, Star Wars.

[Thanks Michael for the tip and the subtitles!]

    Made me laugh! Loved the 2 finger "solution" to the antenna reception probs. Not to mention that Jobs is now Darth Jobs instead of Darth Gates. LOL

  9. Nick says:

    Great vid, and just like I was thinking. Apple is getting too big in the ego and getting all evil, thinking they can do no wrong.

    Haha I like how jobs went from a blue light saber to an evil red one lol

    Pretty accurate it seems.

    Gates, forgot about him. Remember Vista. Super duper fantastic. Oh yea it will not talk to XP sorry. Now there is windows 7 running IE 8?? They had windows security center that crashed the pc. I know, because mine crashed, and the tech told me to delete security center until they fix the bugs. Then there was service pack updates that caused crashes. Gates is out there lurking somewhere. Be afraid, or buy a Mac. They are not perfec, but darn close.

  13. Glenn says:

    Perfec? Is that a word. You get the gist. Perfect. Need to proof read. Got a question. Has any one noticed when typing the word for, almost 8 out of 10 time you type fir. Is that worse than the antenna problem?? My phone can't type. I want a free book from Apple. Typing for dummies or fir dummies. Need to keep the fir problem going so it is a defect. You touch the antenna= signal drop. You touch the keyboard= missoeled wrods. It's getting worse. Recall recall.
