AP photoFinally, an official denial:
Apple has denied a Japanese media report that its CEO Steve Jobs was stopped at a local airport with ninja throwing stars in his carry-on luggage and had a heated exchange with security officials.Â
The tabloid Spa! magazine report Tuesday, widely circulated on the Internet, said an irritated Jobs told airport officials: "I'm hardly planning to hijack my own private jet. What a country. I'm not coming again."Â
Apple shot down the report saying: "Steve did visit Japan this summer for a vacation in Kyoto, but the incidents described at the airport are pure fiction. Steve had a great time and hopes to visit Japan again soon."
Of course Steve Jobs is not a ninja, or the famous press conferences would consist of everyone entering a brightly lit room where it seems no one could possibly hide, and being slain one by one. This is bad for business, eventually. It’s more likely he’s a Jedi.
