    so, basically, you guys have way too much time on your hands?

    Hahahaha, I tried on my DNS and it worked, but not being in America, it's not as effective...

    Possibly the lamest thing I've seen from the iPhone haters... use your energy to *create* something, if you can...
  • Eliot · 2 years ago
    Yeah, that's completely lame. But of course if Microsoft released something big and then Apple fanboys did something, it would be hilariously funny. Right...

    Dan,

    I was in on this. And, for the record, I don't hate the iPhone. It really could have been any object of obsessive affection to make this prank work. It's just that the iPhone is that object for this week...

    Come on! This is funny, right? There's no need to be all defensive.

    I'm sorry for my above remark, I grew up locked in a closet and have no clue what a practical is like nor how much fun it is to pull one.

    Wow Dan, that is pathetic.
    Great prank guys.

    This prank was hilarious but even more hilarious are those commenting who are getting upset

    Lame is lame, no matter which shoe you put on it.
  • Alex · 2 years ago
    It might be lame, but so is a $500 locked cellphone without 3G.

    You guys did well but you should've gone further. That's what makes a good prank a GREAT prank. Or maybe I'm just nasty.

    "And we’re not that mean."
    Thankfully!
    But great prank anyway ... but nobody wants iPhone detox.

    Awesome prank, and I am by no means an Apple hater typing on a G5 tower here.
  • James · 2 years ago
    HAHA! This is great. Fanboys need to grow up and have a sense of humor.

    So you have access to your DNS. I guess you are a windows admin? I can see why are you are so scared by the iPhone. :-)

    Why not call someone and tell them their car just got demolished, etc...? That would be equally funny, i.e. not in the slightest.
