Everybody's favorite maybe-stoner Apple spokesswitcher now appears on the front of a t-shirt promoting the legalization of marijuana. Get yours before the Apple legal department (or Feiss's own attorney) finds out. The justification for the tee:
By putting the ad back up on the site, Apple is saying, to me at least, "If this girl can operate our computers while stoned, so can you." Apple is tacitly targeting its loyal users, students and designers, who probably have more potheads per capita than other similarly aged markets.

Now that they are addressing potheads, who else will come out of the closet and say, "Marijuana isn't the only green in their pocket!" In the future, there may be commercials geared to stoners because they buy stuff too.
