Al Gore Scores Core Store (With apologies to Scrappleface)...

CUPERTINO, California—April 29, 2003—New Apple® Director, former Vice President Al Gore, issued the following statement today, clarifying his role in the creation of the iTunes Music Store, which Apple announced yesterday:

Since inventing the Internet, I have devoted myself to searching for a way to capitalize on my ingenuity by applying it to the field of music, which I also invented. The Apple iTunes Music Store — my idea — is the result of literally hours of research and contemplation (I have a lot of spare time, nowadays). I can't think of a better way to combine three of my favorite inventions (the personal computer being the third) so that millions of Americans and even some people who aren't necessarily American but who stil might have been able to vote in 2000 had they just...well, never mind about that. That's water under the bridge (did I mention that I invented bridges?).

Apple CEO Steve Jobs also issued this cryptic statement:

Next time Woz talks me into a side-bet on a game of Tetris, just put a gun to my head and shoot me. Please.

Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Apple is committed to bringing the best personal computing experience to students, educators, creative professionals and consumers around the world through its innovative hardware, software and Internet offerings.
