All they do with their black cube is walk around it endlessly. They trample each other in the name of Alibaba. At least at this one in NYC you can buy stuff.

One hopes the Muslims never find out about this place in Sandusky.

See, I was wondering if that "Apple(tm)" symbol is in the middle of the cube, like "the Rock" or something. Maybe that's the ultimate insult, not just that it's a cube!

If they were good dhimmis they'd take it down. http://www.cafepress.com/dhimmiwit

Seems like any rectangular building would resemble their sacred Ka'ba.

Thank you for posting these photos. Initially I thought this was just crazy muslims being crazy muslims, but now that I have seen the side-by-sides, I am convinced that this is just crazy muslims being crazy muslims.

So does it offend muslims any time they see a box?

These people have devoted their lives to running around looking for things to be outraged about.

Form and function

Wow, amazingly close in features, materials used, function of building and size.

How in the world could have Apple NOT known what an insult their "cube" would be to Mo-ham-aids.

Obviously a planned insult to the great pedophile

The apple logo was originally a reference to Alan Turing, but folks got upset about that, so now they say it's "just an apple with a bite ou tof it."

"Attention Muslims! Your shrine is an insult to Borgism. You would be assimulated, but we do not want any stinkin' 4th Century, dead goat tick eating Muslims messing up our species! So we'll just destroy you and be done with it!"

[technomage]

boy, if we keep insulting islam, pretty soon we're gonna have cab drivers that'll refuse to transport people if they have alcohol,

Actually, there was a post a few days back concerning Muslim cabbies at some US airport that refused to take any fares where the client had been drinking or carried alcohol.

I guess one of the two will have to be nuked then.

Watch out folks, pretty soon if we use the wrong COLOR, it will be an insult to Islam.

What a pitiful religion, a religion that is so weak it cannot withstand cartoons, images made in their likeness, or criticism.

[stbdside]

Sheesh, is there anything that doesn't offend the muzzholes??

If they don't like it here, they can get the (expletive) out!!

[YOUGOTIT]

Islam is an insult to me and they are trying to kill me and my family and take over my country and place us all under the dictatorship of the Islamic Devils.

Islam: the Rodney "No Respect" Dangerfield religion.
And for good reason.

Yeah, I remember that.

So much for the "have a designated taxi driver" safety plan for drunkards.
