Yeah, so whatever marketing troll MBA thought of the idea to rob customers of a quick twenty bucks that was announced by Jobs at MacWorld Expo this week should be terminated immediately.

What a fucking asinine and downright rude tactic, Apple! Is this how you’re funding your damned green initiatives? By gouging loyal customers for buying the lower end device?

In case you missed out, here’s the rub. If you bought an iPhone, the following new applications are available to now as a free upgrade:

Got an iPod Touch? Well, you too can have the above mentioned apps as well! For just $19.99- (learn more).

Yes, amid the rousing applause, hooting, and hollering was a pin-drop moment during Jobs’ keynote- and it wasn’t the announcement of the Macbook Air either. When Steve let the 20 bucks bullshit go, one could hear the rupturing of no less than a thousand rabid Apple fanboys in the room. A collective WTF has rung out across the planet- This just sucks.

Apple, I’d like to say I’d never do business with you again, but you know, I don’t care enough for that- what I will say however, is that you’ll never get my fucking Andrew Jackson, and this incident proves that your innovation doesn’t stop short at the point of ripping off your customers.

I am certainly not alone in voicing grief over this, so maybe they’ll wake up and do the right thing instead of acting like two-bit extortionists.
