Satire perhaps?

Yes. I believe FSJ has pulled this very same trick before. His deadpan is improving, though. Perhaps he's been studying Andy Kaufman tapes.

The beauty of it is that Apple -- having just silenced a critic by executing a very real shady, secret backroom deal -- is in no position to claim that it doesn't pursue shady, secret backroom deals to silence its critics.

Okay, I know it's wrong to reply to myself, and I will go to hell.

But look at the first picture in this FSJ blog post:

It's Andy Kaufman! I rest my case.

Though, I gotta say, the Andy Kaufman of legend would never have issued such an obvious tipoff. :)
