Jeez, and I'm generally an excellent speller, how humiliating. Although there's been so much talk about obesity on this thread, maybe I just got confused...
Well, it was a lame post on my part anyway. How the hell did the subject ever turn to beer, anyway??
As for my two cents on the debate over whether Apple is irresponsible for associating itself with such social evils as fast food and soda pop... Personally, I think McDonalds was a pretty poor choice because they've come under a lot of heat lately and their popularity is in serious decline. (And rightfully so, it is god-awful stuff, pure trash, and anyone would be better off not eating it.)
As for everyone who has been arguing that Apple has no obligation to promote healthy vs. non-healthy products, you need to realize there is a thing called Corporate Responsibility. It is a very real concept and one that all corporations should practice, precisely to avoid the kind of backlash that is being expressed in this thread. If a company pays slave wages, mistreats employees, pollutes the environment, etc., people will find out and often stop buying the company's products.
Now, promoting fast food and soda may not qualify as unethical in some people's minds, but for those who have strong objections to those industries for whatever reason, there is a definite danger of Apple losing some of customers because of this thing.
(But not me... I love Apple too much and Microsoft sure doesn't strike me as a very ethical or responsible company, so I'm staying right where I am.)
