Oh Canadian Fedex Lady!

This video is simply too funny not to post and it is really making the rounds. It also has the side benefit of ripping on Apple!

Seriously this is why I love YouTube. This guy performed a poem at the Apple Talent contest that suprisingly resulted in him losing his job. Some manager at Apple clearly has some mysterious issues with true comedy. I wish I knew more about the reasons behind the firing. Nothing like half a million people thinking you're an R-Tard to reign in those anti-Canuck hostilities.

Strangely Gizmodo seems to have pulled this story. Near as I can tell, the original article URL is now 301'ed to their home page. Check out this search and clickthrough to the cached page to see what I mean.

I'm not sure if he is actually Canadian (or really got fired for this) but respect to slam poet Erik Ott, aka Big Poppa E (wiki) for his hilarious prose. Did anyone check out Def Jams on HBO to see if he actually was stuck wearing an Apple shirt on the broadcast after they fired him?
