Dec 13 2008Apple Apples Sadly Aren't McIntosh

Some Apple fan in Japan, one who owns a Fuji apple orchard, decided to profess his love for Macs in the only way he knows how, by growing fruit with the Apple logo and little pictures of iPods on them. How did he achieve the feat? Simply -- with stickers. You just put a sticker on an apple while it ripens, take it off when picked, and presto -- an iPod apple. What about the stickers makes the images appear? F***ing sorcery! And that, my friends, is scientific.
Hit the jump for a close-up.

Hey, my apple won't connect to iTunes! How the hell am I supposed to listen to my Metallica? The headphones plug in the top as usual, but the controls are unresponsive. Are my batteries dead?
This "farmer" better have some sweet customer support!

Sweet, I wish I had an apple tree. I would put all types of wonderful stickers on the fruit.
29. demi - December 14, 2008 2:23 AM
thats so gay
30. Adra - December 14, 2008 5:51 AM
I hate apples. I really hate them. I mean they taste ok but they keep coming over here to the UK stealing our jobs and claiming our benefits. Fruit can do that you know......all hail Broken Britian.
They have missed a trick here. He should have put stickers of skulls and bio-hazard symbols on his apples. Thats sure to help them sell. Also its like a living measure of how many poisions he has used on them.

Totally agree with 5&6. My n00b sister started a college media course and soon discovered she had to get a Mac because "That's what they use at college, they all have Macbooks and use Mac Pros in college." So basically the taxpayers are paying for all that fancy shit because she doesn't pay a penny for the course, plus she now has over £900 to pay back on a credit card.
£900 for a dual core iMac with 1GB of RAM. Do u know what kind of PC you can get for that money now? A f***ing awesome one that does everything the pretty silver iMac can do but twice as fast... and play all the newest PC games.
Also, XP SP3 and newest Vista updates crash very rarely now, almost never.
32. Tricky Ricky - December 14, 2008 12:16 PM
FAKE !!!
whats missing from the picture is,,,,, the silver platter with Steve Jobs head..Apple inserted of course!
33. Aaron - December 14, 2008 2:44 PM
i hope daisy's dead once and for all
and macintosh's suck
34. Daisy - December 14, 2008 4:04 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This exactly like that scene from the movie Never Back Down where Baja and Max were in a nudist garden where they could do anything they wanted except eat the apples. Bill Gates came to Bajao one afternoon and said - Are you sure you aren't supposed to eat these apples? Why wouldn't you be allowed to eat something so delicious. So Baja eat an apple, and gave one to Max telling him they were ok to eat, and were delicious. They then proceeded to hide their nakedness, and had to leave the nudist paradise.Ever since them Max has to work really hard for a living, and Baja has pain when she squirts out children.

Daisy, I love what you do. Never stop.
36. Joust - December 14, 2008 8:10 PM
FAKE!!!!
That's a complete PhotoShop job. You can tell it's a fake because all the shadows are wrong.
This looks exactly like the scene in the movie "In Hell" where Van Damme takes an apple and tries to shove it down his pants. He is foiled when a flying squirrel swoops down and grabs the apple, screeching at him.
37. Sharla - December 15, 2008 12:24 AM
Geez.. what a nerd... Why not profiles of naked women, or maybe a guitar or something MANLY... apple? WTF?? Oh wait... If you own an apple, you must be a genius... except in economics...

..."who once grew Microsoft peaches, but ate them before they BSOD'ed."
Priceless.
40. Spam Artist - December 16, 2008 7:20 PM
FAKE!!!!
This is clearly fake. The shadows are all wrong.
They took this from a scene in the movie Tender Dracula.
The two drunk overdubbed frenchmen crash their car on the
way to Dracula's castle after one of the drunk overdubbed french
women rubs her feet on the driver's face.
They have to walk the rest of the way.

I think this is absolutely adorable. Dunno if apple will be the fondest of it, but it's so cute.
42. NightHawk - December 24, 2008 1:11 AM
That's just Disturbing!
43. Chad - December 24, 2008 1:31 PM
i wish i knew what most of these people were talking about :( i mean i really dont get all this "the shadows are wrong...etc". is it like some kind of chainmail?
44. frederichoffmann@me.com - January 6, 2009 7:03 PM
Hey the to way i like my apple. keep on being creative
45. Me! - January 12, 2009 11:20 AM
@37 lol! The only prob with the naked women would be creating a sticker that could pixilate the 'privates'... he is in Japan, after all.
What's next? Mikans with a Wii on them? Maybe a Triforce? Those crazy Japanese guys!
Why ruin a perfectly delicious Fuji apple? Why god, why?
Sooooo tired of all the Apple, i-bullsht! I wonder how long before we see this same 'original idea' here. Hmmm.... maybe Apple will start a new line to their monopoly... dried apples with the logo... candied apple w/ emblem.... apple sauce... baby food... MAKE IT STOP!!!!! Wait... iBabies? Even better, poodles dyed and trimmed into iPhones, iPods, all with the Apple emblems at the top of the tail... (Good god, the ninja turtle was just too hilarious! It looked like a stuffed animal until I hit the jump... then I couldn't stop laughing... and feeling sorry for the dog... then the peacock and the camel... more laughter...) Ok, I need a nap..... z z z z z z z

I have a brilliant to say that that guy can use to sell them:
"Yo dawg I heard you like apples, so I put apples on your apples so you can eat apples whil you eat apples."
