Ten More Excuses for the IPhone Guy

10.  George Bush.

9.    I bet a guy ten grand I could get Steve to call me.

8.  I wasn’t going to pick it up after that skank Louise put it THERE.

7.  Hey, it was a brainstorming activity for new viral PR efforts.

6.  I’m taking the blame here for Woz, that cretin.

5.  Yeah, it’s like $10 million worth of free PR.  A new one IS coming. DROID does, my ass.

4.  Stopped all the awesomeness chatter about that I-Pad.  So they made it bigger, BFD.

3.  Shrek 17 still not done.

2.  FakeSteveJobs needed more material. Much funnier potentially that Steve buying the Toyota van in Atherton.

and the real number one excuse for the IPhone guy:

1.  This is way cheaper than another focus group.
