"If those melting highways and crumbling buildings in the Apple Maps app seemed like something out of Salvador Dali's oeuvre, there's a reason for that \u2014 according to this short mockumentary on YouTube.\nThe video from PuppetShed, a comedy outfit that likes to overdub archival footage, imagines that Apple asked a high-concept French artist to turn Maps' Flyover feature into a commentary on modern American society. Why else would the landmark Brooklyn Bridge look like it collapsed into the East River, if not to make a statement?\n\nSEE ALSO: The World According to Apple Maps\nPuppetShed appears to have gone the extra meta mile and generated an outraged commenter on YouTube who took the whole thing far too seriously: \"I can appreciate existential art, but come on ... we're talking about a mapping application that's supposed to allow users to accurately navigate themselves\uFEFF around unfamiliar places in the world,\" writes YouTube user \"ictduga.\" \n\"I can't believe Apple bought into this guy's philosophical line of pap. Gimme a break!\"\nOf course, that could have been a genuine commenter. Which raises the prospect that YouTube is one giant surreal art project in itself."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
