You'd have to pay me $5 to go in one. /obligatory joke

And this really isn't a joke?

 

[Pancake Rabbit]

Probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

 

[mcgavin27]

wow is all i can say. Nice dick move apple.

 

[nonggame]

I don't think it's a joke. Man, Apple Store might charge you $2 when you walk by their store ^__^.

Really ? Oh well.

There is no way that any company's VP of marketing would say that his company is targeting elite snobs.

Unless we're talking about Sony

 

[MrBadExample]

Lots of gullible people out there.

 

[mang9432]

wow... people are really falling for this article?

 

[magiic]

The sad part is that the whole idea isn't that ludicrous lol

 

[dack]

Knowing about how Apple operates, I wouldn't be suprised.

Yep, this wouldn't really be a surprise if it did happen.

 

[armyjon99]

Good Laugh. But I would not put it past Apple.

The source story actually makes it even more convincing, in that

the $5 fee could be applied to purchases on that visit

But another story on their site is this, which makes the absurdity much clearer:

They've learned much in their joking over the last three years.

 

[dastly75]

Obviously fake but funny, I actually have to go to the apple store today too, and I'm not looking forward to it.
