To say that Taiwan's NMA has put a figurative spin on the literal events of the Apple chief's life only just begins to capture it.
Your life achievements haven't properly been recognised until they've been rendered into faintly dodgy CGI by the Taiwanese outfit NMA. (Tiger Woods, you were so honoured.)
But we're happy to say that Steve Jobs, who resigned as chief executive of Apple on Wednesday, has been duly recognised. (In fact it's come up so fast that we suspect they might even have had this prepared, which we didn't think they were allowed to do under their "make it look as weird as possible" conditions. To say that it's a figurative - nay, symbolic - rather than literal representation only begins to scratch the surface.
As Bitterwallet points out, "Obviously, it covers all the key points in the life of Jobs – the LSD-fuelled epiphany, that time he gave birth to a computer, the vicious lightsaber fight with Bill 'Darth Vader' Gates and his subsequent bout with the Grim Reaper. It's all there – a fitting tribute if ever we saw one."
To which we'd add that it also has the time he fought off an attack of killer Android bots in his boardroom, upon which he was helped by someone who we can't actually recognise but seems to be wearing a rainbow flowerpot on his head. Mark Zuckerberg? Honestly, it's like Madame Tussauds in there. Anyway, enjoy.
It's like Picasso was writing and reporting the news, isn't it?
