People always send in tips about Steve Jobs‘ Mercedes being spotted (usually parked at some weird angle or in the handicap spot) at Apple HQ in Cupertino, CA. But today we have an even better Apple parking lot tip.
Just look at the license plate of the car that was parked at Apple HQ this morning. For those non-religious readers, or those less versed in comedy, I’ll go ahead and spell it out for you. WWSJD stands for What Would Steve Jobs Do? — a take on the popular religious meme WWJD? which stands for What Would Jesus Do?
Yes, this person is directly relating Steve Jobs to Jesus. And yes, they’re at Apple HQ today. Steve Jobs, if you are reading this, you may want to hide in your office. Stalker alert!
Or what if this person actually works at Apple? Awkward.
Update: Word is that this actually is someone who works at Apple. Again, awkward.
And I thought my plate was geeky:

it would be… if it were ascii or something.
i still have my ‘HAX00R’ plates
It’s geeky alright. What does it say?
Yawn.
Must be a seriously slow blogging day.
alternative title was: WITN? WWSJD?
everyone is too busy firing 3gp quality video back and forth on their iphones in an attempt to crash AT&T’s MMS network. largest scale ddos attack ever
lmao eww that is so creeper status!
WSWDWTS
Watching Steve Woziak Dancing With The Stars (or least trying!)
WWMGSW?
whats wrong with you MG, ok we got used to your useless twitter and iphone posts but steve job’s car speculation? what is this? valleyvag or techcrunch?
valleyvag? the german version of valleywag?
well at least he didn’t typo valleyvaj.
(ok, that’s wrong I know.)
oh yes you took it there. you entirely bushwhacked this thread. congrats.
haha u r so smart
valley vag is pretty awesome i hear.
WWTCDB?
What would a TechCrunch Commenter Do (from Brazil)?
WWSIPTTPC
This is really cool to have a license plate like that. I got dibs in New York.
I’m surprised they drive a Mercedes.
it’s Acura
lol. read the first part of the write up, looked at the picture and confused the entire story. next.
Ahhh … Mike @Arrington may go on a rant against Apple, but TechCrunch is full of Apple fanboys, I see!
There’s nothing funnier than ppl visiting SF from out of the country and then planning a drive down to Cupertino. Try as you may to explain that there’s absolutely nothing to see- it’s just like or more boring than every other campus in the valley- the faithful can never be swayed. A great way to waste a day in the bay area.
shouldn’t be posting other people license plates.
WTLITWAUTAM?
BMINWYKIWYN !!
Clearly you guys haven’t seen the blue Ferrari plastered with iPod and Apple decals…

ha ha excellent.
No, no, it’s
“World Wide Steve Jobs Domination”..
I’ll bet its the vanity plate of a law student or young lawyer with the initials “WWS”
Its very common for these self-satisfied types to flaunt their academic credentials in this way (JD = juris doctorate) – law school campuses across the nation are dotted with parked cars like this one.
hmm no…. that is What Would Steve Jobs Do, He is at apple HQ
I have seen that car multiple times parked there before. I think they are an employee. Idolyzing your CEO is really sad.
lol. you are right. i’ve also seen pics of this car and i assumed it was an apple employe playing a joke or getting a company motto on a plate.
Or, you know, it’s a tongue-in-cheek satire of all the Steve Jobs fanboys. Or do you think people with “What Would Flying Spaghetti Monster Do” are totally serious?
I prefer WWBBD? (anybody remember that one????)
It’s probably more of a joke than anything.
At least, I hope it is. Now I’m picturing some guy with a shrine filled with Steve Jobs stuff…
If you are an Apple employee this question is probably a matter of survival rather than idolatry.
WWSJD? Probably not drive an RSX…
Nothing awkward about it.. its funny
It could be Steve Jobs’ personal enforcer or similar. It might be the thing that they have to tell everyone every day, so they might as well put it on their number plate.
Nice idea though – better than WWSBD.
Saw this car driving up the 280 one evening last week, figured it had to be an Apply employee driving home from work.
It’s nowhere as geeky as this

There’s plenty more geekery to be seen on 280. My fave is THE SMUG.
Jesus? I thought it was Geppetto!
