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

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 they cast blame entirely on Apple for the problems of Taiwanese and Chinese owned businesses, and some might find the imagery disturbing so consider yourself warned before you hit the play button. But, hey, Star Wars.

[Thanks Michael for the tip and the subtitles!]
