The Apple Store experience

Somewhat bizarre item in the Washington Post, about the Apple Store
experience:

"... And talkingrillyfast. Rillyrlyfst. Allfthem. Glare-eyed, too happy
with themselves, like Jesus people holding up one finger on 1970s street
corners. They know you aren't One of Them, but they forgive you. Nothing
expresses both virtue and contempt like forgiveness. That's life in
church. They know what Steve Jobs wants of them, and they live to serve."

uh, yeah; I guess...
