Steve Jobs is Disney's largest shareholder. Boycott Apple over 9/11 show!

[suziedemocrat]

Stop buying itunes and other Apple products. Don't tell me with a 6% stake in Disney, Jobs can't put an end to this show!!!

1. If he only had 0.5% shares they'd still listen nt

2. Does this mean I can't use my Mac to log on to DU?

I'll go into withdrawl if I can't. I can feel myself getting the shakes already.

[Deja Q]

3. While tempted at times, Apple's own R&D came from Xerox and volunteer work

(in the form of the GUI, mouse, FreeBSD, and other ventures). I don't think they're as genuine as they claim. (indeed, once they realized that their rainbow colored logo led to "misunderstandings", they took out the rainbow and chromed it up instead.)

The logo spat against the record label of the same name was funny too.

They may be blue, but corporations only care about green - even if they strangle you until you're blue.

4. Oh, grow up.

Steve Jobs had nothing to do with this decision. He owns part of Disney because he sold Pixar to them. And for fuck's sake he's a Democrat. Apple has nothing to do with this.

5. Which is exactly the reason he should be out there protesting!

Disney only cares about Disney. So far, they are just getting publicity out of all of this. If their shareholders/board members start getting pissed off at them, they might realize they could, *GASP*, LOSE money.

6. Yes! Hit them where it hurts the most : In the Pocketbook! eom

[lonestarnot]

7. A red bottom line is the only thing they will hear.

8. He is on Disney's Board of Directors. He is INVOLVED with Disney.

Take a business course.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

9. Oh, but I have.

And if you want to use being on the Disney BoD as the criteria, you're also going to have to boycot Cisco Systems, which means no more internet for you! I assume this will be your last post on this subject, or any other for that matter.

11. No, he DOES have something to do with this

He's their largest shareholder, sits on the Board, etc. He could easily apply pressure here. I'm surprised he hasn't publicly said anything. He's a bit of a dick, but he is a Democratic one.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

12. How do you know he hasn't applied pressure? n/t

[dogday]

13. That's why it's also being shown on iPods for free?

[ShoePolish]

10. Its SImple

The reason Clinton isn't to blame is because it happened on Bush's watch. It's just that simple.

[Neshanic]

14. Suzie, watch out. the Jobists are legion here.

Their beloved Jobs could never and will never make a mis-step.

Except of course, maybe a flaw in the cool cover of a new Apple product. Then the gloves are OFF.

Hell hath no fury like a coolness scorned Macist.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

15. I despise Jobs.

But I still think this is a ridiculous idea.
