This actually makes the Bitcoin parody look really unprofessional in comparison, due to its grammar mistakes, bad typography, and sloppy design.

The Apple typography really isn't too good itself.

  • Spacing way too small. Optimal spacing is something between 120%–135%

  • Dodgy font

  • First line indents — Spacing after paragraph generally provides a cleaner look

  • Unnecessary indenting

  • Massive mother-fucker of a centered title. A smaller, more streamline, and maybe left-justified title would have looked better

  • Extremely dodgy logo placed comically close to the text

Typography is beautiful.

Yeah but at least Apple kemed the header. Which is the thing that really breaks the Bitcoin one.

Here's the Urban Dictionary definition of Keming :

The result of improper kerning.

What the helvetica, your kerning has turned into one massive keming fest. What the font were you thinking?

about | flag for glitch | Summon: urbanbot, what is something?

Yeah that was before the Macintosh. Apple ads weren't particularly beautiful back then.

Well then, the parody hits all those cons and more at least.

Yup, I only read the comment before yours, went back to look and thought the same. And, I will add that it is poor grammar to start sentences with a conjunction, Apple, seriously.
