The guy on Macrumors who posted this and called it gay, I think you have it backwards; it's the Apple video that is gay! How does it feel to not have the aegis of Apple fandom to thumbs up your comments.. here in the real and honest world of Youtube, people don't see Apple through rose coloured glasses so fuck off you shit.

[unfairplay]

it's gay regardless of what it meant at the time!

God I remember watching this in my computer class in high school. When the guys got to the part "thats why we are so gay." the whole class room burst out laughing.

Gay does not mean what it means today....or does it?!

It is supposed to be a substitute for the word happy. Now it means something else.
