Since all you people seem to want to hear about is the iPhone, here’s a pretty good parody ad from CollegeHumor. They say they’ll have two more up on the site today - check here.

    I like jokes too. I am in Europe, at least 6 hours ahead of you. The first thing I did before I went to work was to post a PIC of Steve Jobs at the moment of conception of iPhone. Happy Gay Pride: http://www.oursheet.com

    “When the second-generation iPhone comes out this fall, we want iPhone users to feel not just jealous, but downright foolish for owning such laughably primitive technology.” Jobs also hinted that the second iPhone device would not be compatible with existing Mac computers, third-party peripherals, or any future Apple products.” ~TheOnion

    I found that quite amusing…

  8. DinoHorse

    Its ok, but the parody of the Microsoft Surface, the Big Ass Computer.. man, that one was the best ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZrr7AZ9nCY

    Eh… maybe the other two are better.

  10. Goob

    The one Conan did a while back was much better than this one. Still, I’ll check out CH later on to see if the other ones they upload are any better.

    Michael, you seem to only do 3 kinds of posts these days…

    - pointers to funny things
    - big funding and acquisitions
    - posts for the few sites your a fan boy of

    I miss your analysis of the more day to day stuff.

    Happy I pod day ! http://www.superdeluxe.com/sd/.....15999FB1DE

    Oh snap, MajorNetworkNews is calling it like he sees it.

  14. Adam Benayoun

    Not really funny.

  15. RyanBarrett

    All we want to hear about it the iPhone? Really?

    …That’s odd, because I am freaking SICK TO DEATH of hearing about the iPhone. It’s cool, ok, I get it. But there are more things going on that this damn phone.

    Damnit.

    Of course I want an iPhone (well, when either it has Japanese input support or allows me to add it) but anyway.

    I find the REAL ads are FALSE ADVERTIZING. In one ad, searching google maps for Italian restaurants happens instantly. In real life connecting to google maps will take 30-60 seconds. searching will take another 30-60 seconds, 1 out of 4 times it will never connect. It’s not like Apple is providing some new special cellular tech in their phone right? So, response to web requests should be no better than opera on my current phone.

    Hi RyanBarrett: NO THERE ISN’T BECAUSE IF THERE WERE YOU WOULD HEAR ABOUT IT.

    In light of the fact that there’s no news, iPhone news trumps the day. DER……… THAT’S CALLED LIFE. But you masquerade your shitty tirade as an attempt to adjust the public’s opinion when in reality THERE IS JUST NO NEWS.

    “When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it’s just wonderful. “

  19. GIVE ME POWERSET.COM HYPE NEWS

    I’m planning to launch stealthy, rival model, and crush Powerset’s hype.

    I’m making legend killer search for those who funded powerset.com.
    I want to upset powerset investors.

  20. Ollie Parsley

    I am getting fed up with the hype and past 6pm its bound to get worse, but I have found a video a few mins ago about a guy who tried to steal an iPhone from LIVE TV interview this morning.

    Stupid robber tires to steal iphone-in broad daylight

  21. Full of sick creatures in this planet!!!

    I don’t get it… Why isn’t anybody line up for PLAYSTATION 3 or Nintendo WII?

    What is difference between women’s bathroom and IPOD line up?
    Damn, you tech junkies have bladder problems.

  22. Bill Hartzer

    Awesome! Congrats on the CNN.com mention…I was watching CNN last night before I went to bed and they showed some of the parody ad…with techcrunch.com mentioned right below it.

  23. Mega Masses

    If I ever invented AIDS cure pills. It would be the biggest media hype since starwars, WII, playstation, and IPOD

    People will start line up, fighting for cut lines, start shooting other people, beat ups, camp out, stealing medicine, hijacking, etc. And the poor people can’t afford it. They would choose to die.

    AIDS cure pills couldn’t win the economy either. How do you solve mega masses?

  24. Nuance

    “It is refreshing to see Apple break the mold of the cell phone as we’ve known it, opening windows for more market-defying, style-defining phones that draw attention to the full potential of a mobile device. Yet, to truly experience the content, entertainment and communications of the Mobile Web, consumers might find themselves hamstrung by the same limitations of the iPhone’s predecessors. The availability of a sophisticated, innovative interface - voice, text, touch - holds the key to truly making the concept of ‘elegant simplicity’ a reality, something consumers have come to expect and gravitate toward when experiencing their mobile devices.

  27. ProfessionalGun

    Those were horrible. Someone needs to take a class in comedy writing.

  28. Andy

    Kinda funny.

  30. lawrence

    lol - people didn’t find it funny because you over-promised by saying it’s funny - so right off the bat, people already have high expectations…for it to be really funny- which of course, isn’t usually funny.

    the iphone has arrived: This…changes…everything

  31. Pop

    ha ha ha. too much iPhone coverage.

  32. David Mackey

    that wasn’t funny.

  33. Chris
