I love the name play with "If it's Boeing, I'm not going".

Waiting for something like that for Apple. Let me get my popcorn...

Translating poetry is tricky at best…worse if transliteration and cross-cultural currents pull in multiple directions…

"If it's Apple, it's crapple" was my first stab as well. Just didn't have the same je ne sais quoi to me about it though.

What's tragic is that it was originally coined "If it ain't boing, I ain't going" back when their brand stood for quality.

But that's the history that makes the flipping of the script so stark. Anybody embedded deeply enough in the company should be aware of that exact loss of reputation.

And if the company fails to know its own history well enough that even they are missing the point that speaks volumes about how they value institutional knowledge.
