Ah, I remember this infamous Apple ad:

Here’s to the lazy ones, the mundane, the conformers, the rule-followers, the square pegs in the square holes… the ones who don't see things differently — they’re fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, you can also safely ignore them because they dare not change things… they keep the human race stagnant, and while some may see them as the lazy ones, we see order, because the ones who are lazy enough to know that they can't change the world, are the ones who won't try

The Tim Cook era of Apple. This describes well Apple’s fanboy drones, but also the company engineering, product and design.

When I walk into the latest iteration of the Apple stores, the ones with those giant LED jumbotrons, I wonder whose job it is these days to throw the sledgehammer at the giant propaganda screen.

This, too, shall pass.

This is brilliant. I can't wait until we see an actual Apple ad with this script. Maybe 2021 will deliver!
