In the September 10th edition of the Wall Street Journal, an ad promoting Halloween decor by Grandinroad.com showed two skeletons inserted next to an article entitled "Steve Jobs Returns To Center Stage At Apple", featuring a shot of the gaunt Jobs on stage at the company's big iPod event. This timely ad placement delivered up one unhappy accident.
Even though the newspaper casually tipped toed around Steve Jobs' overly thin appearance in their article, the juxtaposed photo hammered home the point in a darkly humorous way, saying what everyone was already thinking without uttering a single word. It's pure comic genius! Well done WSJ. Truly an epic Fail!

If you think he's thin, when I stand sideways I become invisible.

Jobs is thin because he's hard working, keeps fit and isn't greedy, no reason to make fun of that with so many obese people on this planet.
