Boo Apple PR. I understand that it’s your job to paint your company in the best possible light, but come on, Steve Jobs carrying ninja stars onto a plane? That’s downright legendary. I already thought he was a pretty cool dude, but this really put him over the top (though, admittedly, were he a real ninja, security wouldn’t have been that big an issue).
Apple responded to today’s report that Jobs had his ninja stars confiscated in a Japanese airport by issuing the following statement,
Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction. Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon
The second sentence is, of course, a direct response to the capper of the story in which Jobs announced that he refused to ever go to Japan again, after the whole kerfuffle. I mean, come on, a dude’s gotta have some throwing stars, just in case. Have you seen the size of Ballmer?
