14 DAY TRIAL // Following the debut of Apple's new iPhone 3G, television stations are now using the subject to make fun of those who dared to camp out in front of Apple's stores to be among the first to own one. The all too well known Jay Leno actually said these folks had no life, while Los Angeles' KTLA sent a reporter to ask those sitting in line whether they'd ever seen a naked woman in their lives.
Jay Leno Disses iPhone 3G
You can't blame Leno for saying "the new G3" iPhone went on sale - the man's job isn't knowing the exact dubbing of a device. His job is to keep folks entertained, which he does pretty good whenever something goes on sale driving people insane. Referring to the weeklong line in front of the flagship Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, New York, Leno says these people don't actually need an iPhone. His argument? Whoever can take a week off just like that to wait for the iPhone 3G launch actually has "no life," meaning they have few people to call, or to call them back.
"I bought mine online and I think they sent me one of the old ones," Leno says, referring to an application we talked about earlier this month that has an old-school rotary dial. It can actually be used to place calls, although it takes at least 30 seconds to call someone using that thing (but hey, it's artistic). Admitting the new iPhone 3G boasts some impressive new features, Leno notes that the new model has the ability to "caramelize onions."
iPhone Customers Strike Back at KTLA Reporter Eric Spillman
Los Angeles' KTLA thought it would be funny to do some live interviews with the people sitting in line at the "iPhone Store in Burbank," asking them whether they prefer "gadgets or human beings." One guy sitting in line to buy his new iPhone 3G actually found it kind of "dumb" and unprofessional to ask people whether they ever saw a woman naked before. Nevertheless, with that many geeks around, one could have just considered it good ol' American fun.
Apparently, it was the producer of the show who dared his reporter to ask folks (men) sitting in line whether they'd ever seen a woman like Mother Nature left her. So, if you're one of those who now hate reporter Eric Spillman for his coverage (as show the YouTube comments), worry not, as he was probably even given a bonus for the interviews.
