lol, you both seem to think i give a shit if he's gay. that has nothing to do with him being a piece of shit beautiful being.

and no, he was not actually constructed of feces. at least, it was never proven.

Dude, you posts go like this:

"HE IS A RAGING HOMO FUCK HIM....not that I care he is gay or anything."

It's clear how you post to all of us and really sick.

Who really cares what two adults do that never impacts anyone else?

Apple sucks and Steve Jobs was overrated. Also I have it on good authority that he died from AIDS.

I'd give him this day, if he has kept the economy in California. Yes he employed a lot of people, but the manufacturing went offshore.

Discovery already has a doc on about him. That was fast. Guy's not even cold yet. Bordering on necrophilia. And the Mythbusters are hosting.

Dudes living in their parents house are so angry. One day you will be on your own and perhaps able to afford superior apple products.

Only thing worse than the "angry" dudes are the idiot douches that think they're so much better and "rich" because they buy apple products. They're not superior, they're just overpriced. I'll spend the money I saved on my computer buying games that you can't play on yours, thank you.

Regardless of the man, the products or the love/hate, this is a pointless endorsement that serves no purpose whatsoever.

There is no official observance other than calling it "Steve Jobs Day" and any actual observance would be an ironic waste of public money.

All you guys arguing over iFandom or homosexuality are not dealing with the issue. The issue is, we name days after founding fathers, national leaders, events that changed our lives (4thoJ, Memorial Day, etc). To even NAME a day after someone whose greatest accomplishment was the marketing of an electronic tablet is just plain sad.


Oh, and Mythbusters definitely fell on my respect list with this opportunistic embellishment on a successful CEO. Maybe they will test the impact resistance of various Apple products.....

Doesn't matter.

Is there a national Bloomberg day? How about Bill Gates? Ford? Edison? Einstein?

Maybe there might be a little something in their home town, but not an entire state.

I don't know of any CEO that deserves his own Holiday, even if it is just state-wide. He ran a business, and it wasn't even a very charitable one at that.
CEO or not, it's kind of shocking who and what has a commemorative day.

That said, Eli Whitney (another innovator and inventor) got a postage stamp and a few elementary schools named after him. Jobs probably deserves the same.
