48 Hours
Afishionados,
Another year has gone by, and with it another summer has arrived. And what’s summer without a new iPhone, right? Unless you have been living under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard that the new iPhone 3G S was released yesterday, June 19. I was not privy to the excitement this year, but I read that lines were much shorter than last year.
Either nobody wants the new iPhone 3G S, or (what I think is more likely) more folks simply pre-ordered and had it shipped to their house. Honestly, free overnight shipping form China or wait in line overnight to maybe get one. Which would you choose? Still, exact sales figures have yet to be released, but I bet Apple sells a shitload of them.
Of course, while it seems that Apple was well-prepared for this year’s mad rush of the iPhone, AT&T is still running the oldest servers in the world and are experiencing difficulties in activating the new iPhones for use on their network. Some recent iPhone buyers, when attempting to activate their new phone, have been greeted with this “Frequently Asked Questions” support page in iTunes:

Well, I sure hope that clears things up for you. Feel free to add… um… revisions to the FAQ in the comments below.

No activation forthcoming!
The lack of support is mind-numbing!
I should take the hint
And head out to Sprint
For who doesn’t like some Pre-coming?
I pity th poor workin slobs,
My little homunckulette robs.
She pays fer her phones,
By nibblin on bones,
Sellin $500 iJobs.
Do I have to comment in rhyme?
Or can I get away with a mime?
Joey: Joe doesn’t have an iPhone
“It ain’t sompm I need to own.”
“But it WOUD make my day,”
Said Joe, “If one day”
“I could buy me a dang’d HOMO-phone!
Nurse Myra:
Atlas said, “iPhones migt cost lotsa loot,
But buy one & ditch yer Blackberry.
It aint like I got anything against fruit –
Thats how come I still got my cherry.”
Atlas is dating his iPhone again,
At least thats th latest I heard.
Shameful as that is, it aint nothin when,
Th iPhone is dating a nerd.
Joey’s awful poems are
As bad as rotten sturgeon.
Ironic that his phone and he
Are aptly labeled VIRGIN.
Sad to see th new iPhone,
Is so lovd by so many!
Whooda thunk that all em fokes,
Jus arent gettin any?
My iPhone gives me updates
Evryone woud want to know –
Like when th Lord starts farting at
That dangd Polanski Show.
You should go out and get yourself
An iPhone dictionary
Perhaps your poems wouldn’t suck
So much, you Polish fairy
I need to find a grocery store
To buy some Ovaltine
Said Joey tapping Google Maps
Upon his iPhone screen.
