This “comedy writer” isn’t getting hired by The Onion any time soon. He or she should keep that day job, if there is one…

There’s really no need to be outraged over a rather modest bit of humor. It’s not propaganda and does not make fun of his illness in any way. It’s actually rather complimentary of his work ethic and attention to detail and the amount that he cares about the well-being of his company.
I can’t believe how uptight some people are, maybe its the economy! Its humor, meaning not to be taken seariously. I’m sure Steve reads this stuff and giggles to himself.
If you haven’t heard, he’s a vegan. I thought this was real til I saw that he was eating frozen yogurt.

He’s a public figure and has crafted his image very carefully. I agree that details of his private life should remain as private as he wishes them to be, which is why I’m glad to see no oncologist visits or chemo couch sessions on this imaginary schedule. A comedy piece based on his public persona is perfectly fine. As inm said above, it’s a tongue-in-cheek homage to his work ethic and sense of responsibility to Apple. I live in Silicon Valley and it’s certainly funny here.

Hmmm…Am guessing I need to start emailing TIM and leave Steve alone now. Well that will be different.

Agree.. This isn’t even close to funny. More like stupid. How is this in ATD’s “We Recommend..” ?

At first I thought it was real, then I started noticing all the calls to Tim. After about the 5 time calling Tim, I knew this had to be fake LOL
good one :)
This seems in very bad taste at this point. He was not stalking Tim Cook after he stepped down… he was dying. RIP Steve.

I was reading this and half way through, I was like no way this real, surely enough I looked up at the top of the page and saw it says comic. It is pretty funny though. Lol
Dear Andre, if this bothers you I believe you are the one that is sick.

Since this was written by Americans about an American in an American context, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the culture of the reader is not the primary determinant of whether he/she finds the post offensive. But thanks for your gratuitous, condescending bash couched as sensitivity.

OK, this made me smile…. I love the perception of Steve stalking Tim and I cracked up when you wrote, “Play with Holographic Facetime Beta, use Emperor mode on Tim, (hee, hee)”. I imagined that Tim was not aware of this new feature and would just jump out of his seat when Steve did it. For some reason that was funny to me…… Can’t explain why…..
