You can spot the true Apple fanboys when you see them. Sometimes they are born with the mark of the beast Steve. Sometimes they have the Apple logo spanked onto their skin. In this case, some guy went crazy sticking Apple stickers all over his car.

One thing. Sticking Apple stickers all over one’s car doesn’t make you the biggest Apple fanboy. It just makes you the biggest Apple fanboy with the most stickers and a fugly ride.

You might remember this virtual nerd girlfriend from several months back. The Dennou AR Figures virtual 3D girlfriends are for those extra lonely nerds who don’t get out much.
