So if you haven’t heard by now, Apple’s been forced to change that little tagline on their homepage, the one that describes how thin, powerful and amazing their new iMacs are. The tagline reads “You can’t be too thin. Or too powerful.” However, the Alliance for Eating Disorders took this the wrong way and made Apple take it down.
Quoting the Alliance, “What kind of message is Apple sending our youth with an ad campaign of this nature?”. Come on, do teens really compare their own weights to the ones of their computers? I don’t think Apple is telling the world to become as skinny as their iMacs, but is telling the world that thin computers are nice. And here’s the awesome part, just because thin computers are nice, doesn’t mean overly skinny people are nice. Get this in your head, America, you aren’t your computer. You don’t have to match.
Seriously, “Alliance for Eating Disorders”, maybe Apple should be advertising the Mac Pro’s as being thin. Would that change the whole “weight perspective” thing enough for you?
