    I believe this article to be grossly inaccurate. It appears that she is basically a PR person by background. Phil Schiller is the SVP of global product marketing and is the most significant player in the marketing dept. at apple. Her departure appears to not be a big deal. Further Chiat Day has been apple's agency from nearly the start and that relationship is not changing. You never even hear Allison's name mentioned.

    Well I may be in the minority but I feel that calling any woman a "bitch" is totally unacceptable, even as a joke. Especially if she's someone you don't even know. It was neither clever (it's been done so many times before) nor a jest (just like "nigger" isn't a jest).

    Finally, someone who gets it.



    If she is not quoted, she is irrelevant. She bounces around from company to company. She has no real commitment to a particular vision. That's unsurprising as high-tech PR is one of the most soulless careers on this planet.

    A more insightful reading on the significance of this will come from the trade and business news media with whom Allison Johnson dealt directly. They have a better understanding of Apple's PR and marketing communications players and the importance of their respective roles and activities.

    Not to get racial, but don't African Americans call each other that? I mean no offense what so ever, I'm just pointing out observations...



    Apparently, it's not a 'slur' anymore. It's what you call your best friend.



    Seriously, no offense!
