I tried talking to a security guard about their policies on filming the Apple store from the sidewalk, but I couldn't figure out how to ask it without alienating him (I work at 767 Fifth Avenue so…you know, I don’t want to piss off the security guards). I almost got some info, but I blew it. I was all, "Hey man, what movie are they filming out there? Oh really? Eddie Murphy. Yeah, he IS hilarious. So what does a man like Eddie Murphy need to do to film a movie out there? A permit from the city AND the OK from the building? Cool. So you could just toss them if they didn't get the OK from you guys then, right? That makes sense. So you could just toss some guy with a camera if they were on the plaza, right? Oh yeah, that's right you did close it down completely during the Puerto Rican day parade, I remember that. So…like…what if somebody were filming on the sidewalk? Yeah, I know you don’t control the sidewalk. But what if…what’s that, oh you have a phone call? OK, I’ll see you later man, nice talking to you.” True story.

Maybe it's an overarching conspiracy by the Apple corporation against you. I've seen The Net; those bigwigs will stop at nothing to damn the little guy.

Apple Corporation will eventually transform into a pedophilic, canabalistic horror freak-show, the like of which has not been seen in our lifetime, dabbling in evil and black magics that should never have been re-awakened. Apple Corporation shall be the most terrible man-transformed-into-living-demon to ever roam the sweet land of mother earth. he shall rape innocents and poison the wells of orphanages. he shall transform safe, wonderful things into creeping horrors that steal you from your bed and consume your soul in hellfire. the heroine, Euphenia, will curse him, 'EVIL APPLE CORPORAAATION!!!!', repeatedly throughout the novella. too far? or not far enough? i think i will write a short story whose villian will be the ingenious, cunningly named devil “Apple Corporation”, whose ability to cloud the minds of regular mortals minds leads him down the path of horror and ultimate evil.
