Apple Computers pimps Bush on its web site
"On a Windows PC, software (both good and evil) can change the system without your even knowing about it. In order for software to significantly modify Mac OS X, you have to type in your password. You’re the decider. You approve changes to your system."

4. Definitely "pokes". That phrase is inherently derisive of the chimp.

6. Everytime I read it, I hear Robin Williams saying it
"Next episode on...The Decider."

12. Yes - Pokes fun at him
In my part of the country, that's what pimping has come to mean. But I guess that's really not correct, is it?

3. Nah, they're just making fun of him.
Apple is a blue company.

5. I think "the decider" actually does use a mac.
A yellow President, from a red state, using a white computer, made by a blue company.

7. "The Decider" has decidedly became a joke. Irony.
You need to recognize it.

8. It's Mocking...
If anything, the implication is that "You, Too can play President" with our product--just like 'whatisname'...

Buy A Mac and Ape The Chimp!!!

(...and no I don't use a MAC)

9. To my knowledge, Apple is a Blue Company and I doubt that they
are pimping the Shrub..just making fun of him.
