This isn't news. But in light of his big promotion, does his sexuality matter? The media isn't quite sure: Do we or don't we mention his queer orientation? Let's debate! Cook is one of the most powerful gay figures in the world, that deserves coverage argues Reuters's Felix Salmon. "But surely this is something we can and should be celebrating, if only in the name of diversity--that a company which by some measures the largest and most important in the world is now being run by a gay man." [/quote] Actually it's pretty fucking easy to not care. Just because someone is gay doesn't mean you're going to be buying gay technology. He's a person who has been trained by Steve Jobs, Cook has his job and his personal life. How does both of those have to do with anything about affecting each other? What the hell is wrong with people.
"It's So Hard Not to Care About Tim Cook's Sexual Orientation" What the fuck am i reading
He works at apple it's pretty obvious what his sexual orientation is. but who honestly gives a shit if he's gay or not.
[QUOTE]The media isn't quite sure: Do we or don't we mention his queer orientation? Let's debate![/QUOTE] Oh media...
It's So Hard Not to Care About Apple's New CEO, Tim Cook's, Sexual Orientation? Anyway personally I couldn't care less.
Watch as people stop using Apple products because of this.
[QUOTE=Ninja Duck;31954737]Watch as people stop using Apple products because of this.[/QUOTE] Only a complete moron would believe that homosexuality can "rub off" onto objects. and I've got a feeling that there are plenty of people out there who believe that.
I don't want to buy any Apple products now they might infect my children with gay!
I didn't even know he was gay until I clicked on this thread
[QUOTE=Turnips5;31954799]I didn't even know he was gay until I clicked on this thread[/QUOTE] And even then the world keeps turning. His orientation won't change [i]anything[/i] unless people start making a big deal out of it, which will happen.
I don't give a fuck about this until they release the Ibuttplug or something.
The thread title is confusing. You could have put something like "New Apple boss is gay. US media in a state of panic"
Who fucking cares?
[QUOTE=TAU!;31954775]Only a complete moron would believe that homosexuality can "rub off" onto objects.[/QUOTE] Tell that to a buttplug.
New next week: the iDildo
[QUOTE=Turnips5;31954799]I didn't even know he was gay until I clicked on this thread[/QUOTE] I didn't even want to know until i read the thread title..
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;31954880]I don't give a fuck about this until they release the Ibuttplug or something.[/QUOTE] Just like "mr. hetero gates" will release the Fleshlight xp am i right?
Who the FUCK cares?
[QUOTE=Wii60;31954653]He works at apple it's pretty obvious what his sexual orientation is. but who honestly gives a shit if he's gay or not.[/QUOTE]Americans always care. They care if you fart on the fucking north-pole or puke in a desert. It's just the way of life.
So idiots will view Apple as the gay company now.
So I guess the rainbow apple logo is making a comeback?
Remind me; this is the year 2011, right? It blows my mind on so many levels that anyone cares about this stuff in this day and age.

Didn't I saw clips of the westboro members using a IPHONE 4? Well, sucks for them now.
I'd like to believe that 90% of potential customers are above homophobia, either way, I really don't find myself giving a fuck.

Everyone else does not. Who watches the media more than anyone? Soccer moms and hicks. Who is dumb enough to believe everything in the media? Hicks and soccer moms.

I really do not care that he is gay or not, as long as he does not bash the gay community. Just think of the closet anti gay republicans, then the fallout of the company.
