Colbert on iPhone "Kill Switch"

[Trajectory]

Did anyone else see the sketch Stephen Colbert did on the iPhone Kill Switch earlier today? This was the only place I could find the video (the blogger is obviously not an Apple fan):

"I knew I should have bought a Zune. They can't kill me, or do anything else."

There's a link to the clip on the front page.

It can't see the US page for Comedy Central (it won't let me), I can only see the Canadian version of their site which doesn't have that clip on it.

 

[Ntombi]

Oh, sorry. Okay, let me see if I can get it somewhere where you can see it.


ETA: Okay, it's up on YouTube now, just since I looked a few minutes ago.

Your iPhone. . . (dramatic pause, turns to face other camera) . . . Will Kill You!

lol really funny but no way he can get a call, it's on airplane mode... but funny regardless, especially the zune remark

I saw this on his show last night and was laughing hysterically, especially at the Zune comment.

And push the sleep button when you put up to your ear at least to make me think you are actually on the phone. I have never seen a dark screen in Hollywood when answering a phone call.

Who cares!? Its a comedy show! I'm pretty sure everyone knew he didn't actually have a call.

Um, did you read the thread? Laziness had nothing to do with it. Not everyone can access it through Comedy Central's site.

Clearly me, that's why I wrote that. Do they not teach reading comprehension in Canada?

Workaround

Stephen is hilarious as always luckily there is a simple work around for this killswitch http://www.iphone-hacks.com/2008/08...-apple-and-easy-workaround-already-published/

 

[dccorona]

he has his facebook app in the same place as mine!

and about the screen being dark....thats realistic for an iPhone
it shuts off the screen when its near your ear to avoid accidental touches and save battery

 

[ki2594]

i love when he says something like

I shoulda got the zune, it doesn't do any of this, because it cant do anythin! lol

 

[carve]

ahaha he's funny. It made me laugh

BEST COMMENT OF ALL TIME.

That's your opinion.

 

[applemax]

That's your opinion.

You're a right barrel of laughs ain't ya?

 

[cantankerously]

Thanks! That's great. I love the Threat Down segment. Usually Bears are the number one threat, so I guess my iPhone is pretty dangerous.
