"Russian Orthodox Christians have defaced the logos on Apple products because they consider the bitten Apple to be anti-Christian, says Russian news agency Interfax."
First Pussy Riot, now this. Is there no end to this kind of thing? Gah.

Some people can find conspiracies and insults just about anywhere. Normally, we'd call these crazy people.

No, there will no end to religious insanity, it's old, it's outdated, it's time to move on.
Also, giving them publicity is not helping, it may never end but hopefully someday we'll never have to hear about it and they can live in their own crazy little community and never be heard from again.Last edited by IRunSoFarAway; 2012-10-11 at 12:47 PM.

Apple 's been around for decades now, and suddenly they find it insulting? Fuck that, they are just jumping the hate bandwagon. Move on.

I appreciate them making me look rational in my dislike of Apple, by comparison. At least I'm not raving about Satan and smashing their products...

Russia is a rich country! Rich with idiots. ...with rich idiots even. Oh well
I don't care what people believe in, but things some of them (us?) do are just really stupid. Though this particular news seems quite exaggerated to me. I'm sure someone has done something like this, but it's not a common idea or something. I have yet to see or hear of a single person that tried to remove the iphone logo. And at the same time I've seen this exact text on some other news sites.
Though things like this are really common in Russia:

They were too ashamed to admit that it was really the iphone 5 that made them this pissed off.

This is refreshing. Usually we have multiple "muslim did bad thing"topics, even I make them when something happens.

Soooooo not to be that guy, but doesn't this make sense? Not the whole defacing thing, but I never realized that was what Apples logo meant.

They just want attention from the media. And I guess they are getting it.

It's not what Apple's logo means. It's what this group in Russia has decided to interpret it as. Originally Posted by Puremallace

Crackpots, thugs ands imbeciles are byproducts of every religion. The relative quantities are simply modified by the prevailing living conditions. Islam is more widespread in the not so well-of backwater areas on the globe, while christianity is more prevalent in the industrialised world. Thus it's easy to point at the differences caused by enviromental factors rather than the differences in the actual religions. Originally Posted by Themius

We need to let them know, this might be just a big misunderstanding. Someone quick, hand them an iPhone so they can google it. Originally Posted by Purlina

The bible never calls the fruit an apple... so these people just need their cocoa puffs and to spend the rest of their days in the happy house with the white robed men.
