The iPad Mini is not yet even an official reality, but that hasn't stopped satirists from preemptively taking the opportunity to poke fun at Apple and its rivals.

The parody video below from Mondo Media features a woefully unhip and be-fannypacked Tim Cook attempting to sling rhymes and a new slate in such a sad fashion that Steve Jobs literally rolls over in his grave and comes back to do the job himself.

While introducing the new iPad, the ghostly Jobs also manages to spar with the likenesses of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, who also make guest appearances. Unlike in previous parodies we've seen however, Gates barely stands up for himself.

Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments. Is the video in bad taste? Is it an insult to fanny packs everywhere?
