That first photo is the most awesome thing I've seen all day.

Why can't I be that happy over a soda.

Light bulb pic is very cool.

Is that a young Matt Damon as a Genius?

Heh, I enjoy how all of the people waiting in the last photo look slightly disgruntled.

I wonder if her hair is like that due to motion, or hair product.

Does the lady in the coke picture look like a female version of the dad from the capital one snowglobe commercial, or is just me?

I cannot get enough of that lady. I almost want to put her on my desktop.

Legos, ftw.

Diet Coke Plus = weird. Drink a non-caloric beverage while pumping yourself full of supposedly healthy minerals!

I usually feel disgruntled when asking for help at an Apple Store.

Seeing that dead lightbulb on the dirty ground makes me want to smoke crack.

@kantwait: Having worked at an Apple Store, that's about right. People are usually quite pissed that Apple's miracle product breaks like any other product.

@Git Em SteveDave: You will, now that Coke has apparently started putting crystal meth in Diet Coke. :P

The Apple photo: "This device has never been 'pwned'. That is a filthy urban legend started by Microsoft."
And what is the guy in the background doing? He's got the intensity of a junkie shooting up under his fingernail.

For some reason all mac genius dudes seem Eunuchified.
The power of the twins never seems to illicit a twinkle from their glazed over peepers.

It concerns me that an overload of Appleness has neutering effect.

For kicks I like to tell said Mac genius overlords I'm a PC user and ask why I should switch over to the 'Dark Side'.

They immediately sneer from the side of their gaping maws like
Bill 'The Butcher' from Gang of NY after a stroke.

Their following dogmatic derision over anything anti-Mac would make the Westboro Baptist Church weep for being pwned in the fire & brimstone department.

I think I might be falling in love with "Diet Coke Plus Girl". She's got everything: good looking, smart enough to see the joke in Diet Coke Plus, takes care of herself, sense of humor...

Yes. I am in love with her.

Diet Coke Plus Girl looks a bit like Melanie Hutsell.
