Sprockets & Cogs

SNL with Brian Williams was pretty good Saturday night, but for me the highlight was this hysterical commercial which illustrates the way most men use the iPhone. I kid, I kid. But the humorous spot is generating buzz and logged more than 800 YouTube views within 12 hours. But it’s also generating glee among phone-tech geeks everywhere. You see, they say (or shout, really) that the phone’s been jailbroken, and perhaps also unlocked, so it could be running on a carrier other than AT&T. Oh no they didn’t! Apple’s death-grip on anything iPhone-related makes brings some sweet ironic humor to this whole spot, as evidenced in this YouTube comment:

THAT IPHONE IS JAILBROKEN….LIKE MINE :) ….i bet apple is pissed…and the carrier logo doesnt [sic] look like at&t…so its also unlocked(like mine ) or he switched the carrier image with customize

Nothing like kicking the king.
