I would kill for the iPhone 5

I understand that the above statements are, of course, tongue in cheek, but they don't do anything to deny my (and a lot of other people's) theory that Apple is a kind of cult, an iSuicide away from its Jonestown moment. By far the most sinister aspect of Apple fanaticism is definitely the guys who've chosen to model themselves on Steve Jobs. You know the type: bald, thin glasses, pursed lips and an absolute refusal to wear a conventional collar or leather shoes. I'm not saying these guys touch children, but they aren't the kind of people you'd leave your kids with.I would sell my kidney for an iPhone 5

Obviously I'm not saying that we should all only be able to talk about Hula massacres and fiscal policy (because god knows I'd be out of a job pretty quick), but really, the way people genuinely care about these things is just embarrassing. Po-faced op-eds and "outraged" social media updates from people who actually describe themselves as "aspiring journos" (which in terms of ambition these days, is a bit like being an "aspiring alcoholic") are seen as the pinnacle of cultural debate in this country.If The Maccabees aren't on the Mercury list I will be outraged*looks pointedly at @laurenlaverne *
