Apple To Sue Chris Martin And Gwyneth Paltrow Over Choice Of Baby?s Name - May 15th 2004


Apple Computers have announced their intention to sue Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow over their decision to name their newborn baby Apple. The company has claimed by naming the child Apple that people will mistakenly believe the child is endorsed by Apple. Apple have explained they were never consulted at any stage during the pregnancy or even at the point of conception.

?If Miss Paltrow had explained her wish to name her child after our corporation then we have got actively involved in helping her develop it,? Chuck Hankman, a spokesperson for Apple explained, ?However by developing it herself she has more than likely ended up with an unstable product that goes against Apple?s core values.

?For a start she has chosen to develop her baby in co-operation with Chris Martin a member of a rockband which is an inherently unstable profession. Secondly, it is more than likely that the baby was developed using the archaic system of sexual intercourse. This is largely a hit and miss affair, something we at Apple would never condone.?

Mr Hankman explained that Apple developers do not believe in sexual intercourse and prefer to reproduce using a system coded in-house that carefully analyses the properties of each sperm in a sample and selects the one that will result in the most highly developed offspring.

?Whilst Windows users probably get some cheap satisfaction out of using the traditional method of reproduction Apple users are constantly aware at the technical superiority of our method. Our software never gets a headache and doesn?t require viagra.?

After hearing Apple?s allegations Microsoft defended its position claiming their system was cheaper and, unlike Apple?s method, was something that most people could get to grips with. They were also quick to offer Gwyneth Paltrow better protection against penetration from the Martin.C worm in future.

Haaa after Justified's comment I thought it was handy she never hitched Paul Mac, but Apple TM beat me to it.
That article is a gee-up, surely

:laugh: again, poor girl. man the jokes are endless. I would be very mad at my parents. The local newcasters were laughing at the name too.
 
I hate it when people give their babies weird names. It seems so thoughtless, considering how cruel children can be to one another. :(

Hopefully the name "Apple" will just be on the birth certificate and the kid will go by either Blythe or Alison.
 
Poor kid....12 years from now when she's hitting adolescence (rich & famous parents or not), just imagine all the dirty little inuendoes: Apple "pie"; Apple "turn-over", Apple "cake"; Apple "fritter" - eck! :ohmy:

Makes "Agnes" or "Bertha" or hell, even "Rumpelstilskin" appealing, huh? :huh:

How do famous women ONLY increase in size in their stomach when they're pregnant? :confused:

I don't like Chris's beard. He looks Amish. :no:

I really hope they have a better reason for naming their kid Apple than the theories in that article. :|

Cute baby, though! :cute:
 
congrats to them but i hope they call the baby blythe or alison cause apple is just plain stupid. but to each his or her own.

i'm sure the baby is a real cutie though
 
'Last night a mum of three called Apple told how she was bullied because of her name and told the couple: ?You must be bananas.? '

:lmao:

That made me spit tea out.

But it landed back in the cup, so I can still drink it. :wink:

May 18, 2004 -- THE origin of little Apple Martin's name may not be so far from the tree.

Though Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin are not commenting on why they named their newborn daughter after a fruit, she's not the first human Apple in their lives.

Marty Diamond, Coldplay's agent at Little Big Man Booking, and his wife named their daughter, who was born last year, Apple Sadie.

And they have an explanation - following the Jewish tradition of taking the first letter of a recently deceased relative, the A is after Diamond's late father, Alan, and the S is from his wife's late mother, Sylvia.

Diamond, also a close friend of Martin's, downplayed any connection. "My daughter and their daughter have nothing to do with each other," he said. "I'm excited that they named their daughter Apple . . . I think it's wonderful."
