OH, THE OUTRAGE!

From Adrants,
apparently Apple is none too happy with Fuse television network for
putting together risque ads like the one below\which
bear a striking similarity to Apple's popular iTunes advertisements.
The New York Post Online has even picked up on the story:
Apple lawyers have been calling Fuse and threatening to sue unless
the ads -- which went up in outdoor locations in New York City on Monday -- are taken down.
Not only do the ads resemble Apple's iPod ads, but they also are
quite risque: one depicts a man masturbating, while another shows a
woman pole dancing.
Apparently, Apple has received numerous calls from iPod users who
have expressed outrage over the advertisements, a source said.
Outrage?
