Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard


Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard is a well-done Onion News Network video spoofing Apple Computers. The pretense is Apple releasing its newest offering, the MacBook Wheel--a computer for people who don't really need to work.

The delivery is very deadpan, the sets are well made. I like the backgound jokes, like the sign behind the reps saying "The Wheel. Reinvented." It's been such a long time that I've read The Onion, I forgot these guys were good at comedy. And life. 

In-video bonus! 1, 4 or 9 vicims, next.
