Rich Menga is PCMech's video guy, an author and part-time host of PCMech LIVE.There are five levels of ridiculous:
- A little ridiculous
- Somewhat ridiculous
- Ridiculous
- Really ridiculous
- Absolutely ridiculous
Apple has now passed into the absolutely ridiculous category.
Why?
- Proof of iPhone’s crashing - in the Apple Store.
- Apple charging five bucks just to get into the Apple Store.*
The iPhone crash was at least tolerable. It is, after all, a very technical gadget. But to charge five bucks just to go into an Apple Store to see a product that doesn’t work?
That’s absolutely ridiculous.

Um. Rich. BBSpot is a *SATIRE* site.
The $5 store entry fee is a JOKE. SATIRE.
Good grief.

The thing about BBSpot is that it always posts “fake” news, intended to be taken in a humorous light or a “what if” scenario.
I’ve seen more than once where these gags and scenarios could actually be almost believable. This is one case where that happens.
If you are duped by this, don’t feel bad. I got sucked in by a fake headline a number of years ago put out by BBSpot before I knew what exactly their website does.
