While I appreciate the focus, the guy is entirely opposite when it actually comes to technology purchasing and quite happily throws piles of cash at closed proprietary products on a daily basis and brags about it on television.
Fry is one of the most amazing people on the planet, but he was still a bad choice for this video, given that he actively lionises Apple's products - to the point where he receives special editions available to none other than Jobs himself.
Why defend it? I made the film.
FWIW, Fry is a manic depressive and buying a shitload of technology is a side effect of his medical condition. Fortunately for him he has the financial means to do this, others are not so lucky.
