Um, it's not just a sock. It has 3D knitted construction, but you android fanboys wouldn't understand the design philosophy of a piece of cloth

So if I buy a bulk pack of knee high hanes and cut some holes in it, you think I can slap some old apple stickers on the side and sell them to apple people?

It's just a question.

"Wow another 253 orders for more ***socks! This is such great news for me and my 7 dogs"

What the fuck is happening?

Yes, this is actually the first time a luxury good that's a bit silly has ever been sold.

Historic moment here and definitely not the norm.

No matter. Apple fans will do as their told and soon be lining up at the Apple stores, wallet in hand.

And next year they'll wait in line for iSock 2 Pro that's double the price.

While I doubt this is very world shattering news, it is technically news.

It's a silly product.
