This morning, this country lost its shit. And the culprit?
Benevolent Overlord Jobs and the iPhone 4
People stood in line, in the cold, to make sure they were the first to fork over their money for this consumer electronic that frankly, isn’t that impressive. People were franticly running around cities to find the only outlet with stock. People were cancelling contracts and changing networks because their network had sold out of the iPhone 4. People were ultimately paying potentially thousands of dollars to get their grubby little (and probably over worked from masturbating) hands on an iPhone 4 the day it was released (as if no more stock will come and their life will be over if they can not have one).
Most of these people had perfectly good old model iPhones. Most of those people were only half way through their contracts and needed to cancel and pay out to upgrade. Or they will now just pay two phone bills.
These people will likely vote.
I think Futurama pretty much nailed it.
But anyway, in case you were wondering if you should buy an iPhone 4 on the day of its release or if you were considering buying one soon, I made a flowchart that should make your decision easier.
You’re welcome.
