You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
A Steve Jobs Action figure.
Kind of like GI Joe. Kind of like Ken and Barbie.
Kind of creepy?
Who wants their kids playing with a dead guy doll?
How about a Truman Capote doll? please.
So anyway, according to published reports, a Chinese company was producing the freaky looking super genius dolls.
thankfully that plan has been scrapped after Apple’s lawyers filed legal papers that essentially said “WTF?”
Who wants these things anyway? Apparently geeks around the world were pre-ordering the Steve Jobs figurine that would have come complete with a black turtle neck sweater, wireless glasses and blue jeans.
Did I all ready say creepy?
The figure stands about a foot tall and would have come with a stool and backdrop that read “one more thing” – his trademark phrase used to unveil the ipod, iphone and other mind blowing inventions he is so associated with.
A Steve Jobs action figure? Where do you put that? Do you dress him up and put him on a shelf in your office? Are you going to put him in the Barbie playhouse where he sleeps on the couch
with the Matel mega-hottie?
Hard core Jobs fans are bummed, but I am glad Apple Lawyers shut it down.
It’s like sanctioning a seance, picnicking in a cemetery, dancing in the morgue.
Let the dead man rest, I say.
You want to remember Steve Jobs?
Ask Serie where to bury a dead body. That’s a good start.
And that is crazy.
