Flagship Hamburg Apple store defaced with Windows

[ct2k7]

Someone tweeted this out: thought it was pretty funny.

Today, as I was reading my daily dose of rumours and such on Apple and Microsoft news sites, one post caught my attention, and I believe it was something witty, yet extremely funny.

Apple’s flasgship store in Hamburg was defaced by two men, placing a copy of the Microsoft Windows logo on the side of the yet-to-be-opened Apple Store.

The logo has since been taken down, but the evidence remains on the internet. Long live the internet!

I call shenanigans.

And it got the attention Apple wanted.

 

[Rodimus Prime]

That was really well done.
Also proves yet again you act like you are supposed to be doing something NO ONE questions what you are doing.

I doubt there was any involvement from Microsoft or Apple on this one.

That is a classic, tried and true method of graffiti. ESPO and KEPT were masters at this artform. The simple camouflage of a blaze orange vest will allow a "vandal" to do amazing things in broad daylight without suspicion. Trust me.

That is really funny. Not surprised they got away with it though, they were dressed for it and blended right in.

No doubt he has Bill Gates' number...

"Bill! Steve. Okay, man, you've gone too far this time! What am I talking ab-- The Hamburg store! Those two guys who pasted the Windows logo-- OH. Yeah, I forgot you retired... Okay. Yeah, we're still on for lunch. My best to Mel. Right."

[Slams down the phone on the nearby table with a muttered curse, before realizing he was just talking into an iPhone. Picks it up, sees the cracked glass.] "Aw, crap."

Agreed, that was a great prank.
