Yesterday, while cruising through my normal tour through the darkest, most bizarre corners of the internet, I came across a jarring (albeit established) little tech phenomenon. People love dancing in Apple Stores. Like, dancing like maniacs. Why? Why not? Brilliant.
Perhaps the most prodigious of the manic Apple all-stars is iJustine—actress, “internet personality” (whatever the shit that means), and current TV host on Spike TV. Normally her massive popularity could be attributed to the simple “geeks love blondes talking about iPads” effect, but this girl has some serious panache. And huge balls—or huge ovaries, whatever—walking into Apple Stores and essentially making a horse’s ass of herself. As seen here!
And then there’s the little tween dynamo iTr3vor. Clearly hoping to follow in the bombshelly footsteps of iJustine, he spazzes out to a variety of Top 40 hits via iSight. He’s got a lot of energy, but not the following—only a paltry 17,000 subscribers on YouTube, compared to iJustine’s ginormous 1,100,000. Even the girls behind him don’t really seem to want to be associated. And then the Apple “Genius” shuts him down. The nerve! The only thing genius in that store was the little kid’s spirit. FREE iTREVOR. Nonetheless, his library of in-store performances is extensive.
