Chief Imaginative Officer, Steve Mobs


Over the
past two decades The Simpsons have become more than an animated sitcom, mocking politics, trends, society and just about every issue from wars to fashion.

Now it's Apple's turn. It's not the first time the company found itself mocked in the series. A few seasons back, The Simpsons portrayed a vision of the future in which the Earth is ruled by iPods, which go about flogging the good people of Springfield. Now they've gone a step further, changing the name of the company into Mapple and the "i" in Apple products was miraculously transformed into "m".

Steve Jobs became Steve Mobs, Chief Imaginative Officer, and Bart had a go at him. In a voice over during a presentation, Bart steals the show bashing people who buy a $500 phone with a picture of a fruit on it. He then goes on to inform the fanboys that the phones actually cost 8 bucks to make and that he urinates on every single one of them. He ends the charade claiming Jobs invests the money he makes on them into Microsoft stock and makes love with his boyfriend, Bill Gates, on a bed of cash.

Lisa ends up owing $1,200 for song downloads and begging Mobs to let her of the hook, but ends up working off the debt, instead.
