The **iTunes 10 icon** has a [Twitter account](http://twitter.com/itunes10icon?ref=hypebot.com); it's angry and funny too.

Remember that stuff **Clay Shirky** wrote a book about called *Cognitive Surplus*? Well, apparently, this is at least one of the things that happens when people stop watching television and have too much free time on their hands.

**I attempted to pull some of its best one liners for your enjoyment:** 

- As much as @gap's new logo sucked, it at least got people talking. For a moment they were almost relevant again. Almost.
- What @GapLogo taught me this week: Paint and WordArt are considered serious, professional design tools.
- If you're going to do a shitty re-brand, stick with it. Heck, look at what it's done for Pepsi.
- Twitter, it's where people bitch about tons of shit that doesn't matter.
- Admit that I'm ugly? I'm an icon. I'm functional; easily identifiable. I'm not trying to cure cancer.
- Steve Jobs happens to like me. Steve Jobs is a rich motherfucker and I make lots of money.
- It's been a month since iTunes 10 came out and people are still bitching about me. Seriously, fuck you guys.
- No one forces you to use iTunes, and you aren't charged for it so quit bitching about it.
- The logo has been broke for a long time. People thought computers should've kept floppy drives and look where that got us.
- While I'm sure you buy most of your music from your beloved Walmart, most get it digitally now. CDs are dead.
