That’s some funny shit right there, yo. It’s like the biker’s years ago, who wanted to be ‘separate’, edgy and rebellious. They all dressed the same, got tats and had long hair. That used to crack me up as well.

An excellent article posted this week on Zero Hedge
I write this looking out at the Apple 2 Campus currently under construction, and people in-the-know tell me is currently the largest construction project in the country. I hope they don’t go broke before its done or we could have a very nice jail facility on our hands.
I have watched Apple from the beginning, and I can honestly say I never met an Apple employee I liked or wanted as Friend. Then again, I am no fan of cults or religions either.
The Manson Family analogy in the piece, In my opinion, fits perfectly.

@Lysander, exactly. Also like the ’80s/’90s preppies wearing Izod shirts, chinos and deck shoes. Accountants being conservative in blue suits and red ties.
I, in a long ago life, associated with quite a few bikers (first as a babysitter for neighborhood families that happened to have biker parents), and you are so right about the look. When I would meet a biker that was groomed without visible tats, he would catch my attention. Met a few interesting, intelligent, guys that way.
Anyway, nice comparison that triggered my memories, thanks for that.
We humans like other humans that are like us. People that like the same things we do are friends. This knowledge changed my life as I began to use my inborn habit of learning a little bit about nearly everything that I come in contact with. Literally. Once I was told, I believe it was from Zig Ziglar, that people buy from those they like, and that we like those that are like us, I was incredibly effective.
Apple sheeple just take this to a whole other level. As do our tatted and chemically dependent friends, family and neighbors.
There is contentment in conformity for most humans. I have no idea why I am conformity averse, but I am. And I’ve always been that way, just ask any member of my family. As insanity becomes the norm, I am both happy, and sad, that I’m genetically incapable of buying into their bullshit. So it goes…
