Er, because Apple ISN'T widely regarded as 'one of the biggest symbols of consumerism' - you've got Coke, Wall-Mart, Microsoft, all leading the line; and all of those companies still follow old-school shady consumerism: profit is everything. Apple kept that mantra (and, as the episode points out, "No Refunds") but had the common-sense to make an effort to be forward thinking in their relatively ethical business practice (cheap, but not slave labour, and a half-decent environmental policy), which makes them very appealing to people like Lisa - they represent the sort of consumerism a liberal doesn't have to feel guilty about. “Why would Lisa, of all people, be excited about an Apple store, one of the biggest symbols of consumerism today?”

It's been going downhill for a while, but this series is the worst I've ever known! Whether I agree with their opinions or not is irrelevant. It's supposed to be lighthearted comedy and I don't want people's views (political, religious or otherwise) thrust on me when I'm relaxing.

They weren't making fun of muslims, they were making fun of people who THINK all muslims are terrorists and trying to challenge stereotypes.
