I could almost use Peter Kafka's lede at AllThingsD on this item, as I don't watch The Simpsons on a regular basis, either. (Actually, I use Hulu to catch up with episodes I've missed, as I suspect more and more people are doing.)
In any event, the iconic animated show finally took on the modern cult of Mac in its Sunday episode, although the writers obviously feared Apple's legal team. In the show, "Apple" is renamed "Mapple," led by the iconic "Steve Mobs". iPhones are named "MyPhones," and -- well, just watch the clip that Kafka helpfully provided.
Nice try, Mark, but this is Steve Mobs. Clearly there is no relation between him and the Apple CEO.

"Your heart is blacker than your turtleneck!" How woefully true... except Steve Mobs doesn't have a heart. It climbed out of his chest and put on a treadmill to power the MyPhone servers.
