The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs: Proof that God exists and has a sense of humor

    This Real Dan crap has got to stop! You are trying to ruin the internet?

    Dan, I really like most of your writing, but sometimes you get too irreverent. I didn't care much for Jesse, but still... I think your comment is in bad taste and not professional.

    Folks, this parody site is going away, if you haven't figured it out. Lyons wrote recently in a Forbes article that he would be "shocked" if Jobs is still CEO by the end of the year (because of his visibly poor health). If Jobs isn't CEO anymore, this site basically loses its reason for being. (And if, God forbid, he's dying, continuing on with this parody would be in really poor taste.) Either way, I don't think Lyons sees him doing this much longer, if at all; it was merely hip marketing for his Options book anyway.

    Dumb reason to not continue the blog. Did Trudeau knock off Raoul Duke when Hunter Thompson ate his gun? Fake Steve Jobs and not Fake Steve Jobs are different entities existing in differing universes;Lyons is merely the conduit for Fake Steve Jobs into our troubled little realm of reality.

    Maybe Dan saw this coming ahead of time and decided to have his FSJ character lie to us about being in good health and just taking a break, and then wait for him to die. Or something. Who knows?
  • Dave · 1 year ago
    Given there's a Real Dan post that refers to Steve Jobs in the first person, I'm thinking this is a mistake that will be corrected.
  • Real Reader · 1 year ago
    What's the matter with you, Dan?

    Stop pretending to be the real *you*! This is not funny anymore...

    Couldn't agree more.

    First, sticking MS ads, then moving to NewsWeek, then borgs raiding this place, and now, the Real Me.

    You pwned.

    Huh? We lost Fake Steve and got Real Dan? Bummer.
  • yDNA · 1 year ago
    Not quite, Dan! Bozo died yesterday. Maybe they died within the same 24 hours. Or maybe you could say Helms was taken in response to the loss of Bozo. But it wasn't the same "day".
  • Dam · 1 year ago
    For every 24 hour period there is a time zone where that is considered a day. Just thought I'd share that with you, yDNA.

    If anything screams "It's over!" more than "real dan"... I can't think of what it would be.

    Sadness...
  • hasbeen · 1 year ago
    What really screams it's over is the utter lack of humor for the last 6 months. The book tour was the beginning of the end. With the introduction of guest columnists the fat lady's aria began.

  • EJMiv · 1 year ago
    People...clearly this shouldn't be marked as written by Real Dan..the last few posts just yesterday said they'd be written by Steve, and now today they all say "Posted by Real Dan." Obviously he's planning something...he probably just didn't realize it'd affect his signature on every post.
  • Germ · 1 year ago
    This exact thought ran through my mind the other day when I saw scumbag hedge fund criminal Sam Israel being stuffed into the back of a car...the sign across the street read: Asylum, the nightclub. I replayed that on my DVR like 20 times.

    Why has this blog gone sh*t??? Seriously, there are very few posts and the ones that appear are really bone.

    Now that FSJ seems to be going away (in spirit), we need to get together as a group and write an emulator - a fancy piece of software that, erm, emulates FSJ which emulates REAL Stevie.

    On a more serious note, speculations about Apple CEO's health ARE in poor taste. Let me remind everyone that this guy had composure to had a cancer operation and then go back to work. Most people in his position would just buy a boat or golf for the rest of days. Not Steve Jobs. Instead, he went back and kicked some ass with great products. If anyone deserves respect in the technology industry, Steve Jobs does - regardless of your allegiance to Apple, Microsoft, Dan, whomever.

    And who is this Jesse/Clown duo? Dan, you are really wasting bandwidth here.

    Also, we need to understand that Dan is kinda working in the dark until the 11th of July. Real Steve isn't showing up, and Apple is all hush hush about whatever. One more week, and Dan will have more material. Maybe blogging about Bill Gates would help (and his tax shelter job). He is the new superman, no Jesus - he will cure all diseases and hand out 99c burgers to all the hungry.

    That is so funny. I read about both dieing yesterday, but did not see the irony. Although, I must admit, that Jesse Helms did a lot of good while in the Senate. Sometimes, the good is just not focused on.

  • JSG · 1 year ago
    The only bad thing about Helms dying was that he couldn't live long enough to see a black man elected president.

    Other than that... there's no downside. Rest in Hell, Jessie Helms.

  • drew · 1 year ago
    I like the way you think. I know who Bozo is but Im not to sure who Jesse Helms is, he must have been some one important

    Bozo is clowning in heaven, while Jesse is rotting in hell.

    Bozo brought joy to the world while alive...

    Helms brings joy to the world by dying.

    A lesser deity would take the credit. When you die, you die; very, very, very, very rarely do I implement the delete key on two insignificant strings to amuse others or make a point ... It's a humorous co-incidence.
    But thanks for the compliment all the same.

    Hilarious observation. Maybe God does (if she exists) does have a sense of humor.

    And oh, thanks Steve for removing the spam.
