Ok, please don't take that too seriously. I have a phone already, it isn't an iPhone, but it does all the phone-like things I need my phone to do - as well as many other fun things too.

I just came across an article about a Best Buy employee, Brian Maupin, who made an animated video about people coming in to (a) store asking to buy an iPhone. Although the video does not mention Best Buy, they suspended Brian for denigrating a product that the store sells. The video is extremely NSFW and contains adult language. It might even offend you but it's hilarious if you can get past the crassness of the humor.

Again, this is NSFW! Close your office door and don't watch this if you work at Best Buy. View at your own risk: youtube.com/watch?v=FL7yD-0pqZg**

Now just how badly do you need an iPhone? How 'bout a white one? I hear Walgreens has 'em! If you ask there for one, just tell 'em Jack sent you.

Apple has finally released the iPhone 4; the iPhone 3 is dead. To recycle a phrase from an old Pink Floyd song:

"Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as ‘a can be by his feet; de ya ken?"

Let me repeat that in English: The iPhone 3 is dead, no longer sold, it is an ex-phone, pining for the fjords even. Anyone who can (OK, Apple, AT&T) is diving into the fray selling the iPhone 3GS for $99, 'cause, you know, it's the contract that's the killer.

So why am I on about this anyway? I don't have an iPhone and AT&T doesn't service the dead zone we live in. So why!?? Because everyone, and I mean (nearly) everyone that owns an iPhone 3 is selling them "Cheap! in every classified online ad you can find.

"Psst... buddy... wanna buy an iPhone, cheap? Jus' $250 but only today! They're goin' fast! so hurry!"

Yeah... just walk away. Go get your new i4 for $199 or if you're on a budget, grab an i3GS for $99.
