Bitten: Apple's 'blasphemous' logo under fire in Russia
Some Russian Orthodox Christians see the iconic logo as a symbol of sin that they would like to see outlawed.

You might make the case that Apple is sinful based on the gluttony for gadgets it inspires, but some extreme Orthodox Christians in Russia are more offended by the company's "blasphemous" logo.
According to a translation of a Russian news report that's been kicking around the Web, some conservative believers see the image of the bitten apple as a symbol of Adam and Eve's original sin in the Bible. Some have gone so far as to cover up the logo and replace it with an image of a cross.
Apparently no one has clued these folks in to the fact that Apple's name and logo were actually inspired by the legendary piece of fruit that fell on the head of mathematician and astronomer Isaac Newton.

Now, new anti-blasphemy laws proposed in Russia's parliament could conceivably prevent Apple from selling products with its own logo in the country. We've contacted Apple for comment and will update this story if we hear back.

thanks
but underneath, that apple logo is still working its evil magic, probably causing its good Russian owner to drink more vodka, dance naked under the full moon, fun stuff.
...although, IPads come with icons...
