Boy that would make Apple popular around the world! Advertising does not necessarily imply agreement with the sponsee. I mean does a company have to have 100% agreement 50% or 10%? That's damn silly. It's the same thing the right wingers said about Politically Uncorrect. Its stubborn of Apple to ignore a good chance like that. And indicative of what still wrong with Apple. They let their personal "feelings" get in the way of good design and business. Like my friend just bought his first computer a 933. We were both sitting there talking about how dumb Apples thinking is sometimes and increasingly. Like the new OS 9.2 start up disk control panel. I knew, as soon as I saw it, it was a terrible design and would confuse him, and yep it did, took me quite some time to explain it to him. It's as stupid as it gets. We also discussed the stupidity of putting things like headphone jacks on the back of computers, not having eject buttons (thank god they finally fixed that) and other stupid stuff Apple does. Designers can be real prigs, elitists. That shouldn't be what Apple is about.
