KTLA ‘Reporter’ Makes Fun of iPhone Line-Sitters, Gets Called a Jackass on Live TV
KTLA Reporter Eric Spillman went down to the local iPhone line on Friday to cover it for his station. His version of coverage consisted of standing next to the line and asking hard hitting questions such as “Have any of these people ever seen a naked woman before?” not to anyone in particular, but to the camera. Not that I’m against making fun of geeks, but such an unoriginal and unfunny approach just set him up to be called out. When he finally did approach someone in line, the whole thing got a little more awkward. Kudos to the guy in line for making Spillman look even more stupid. [Eric Appel]

I’m with the reporter on this one – it’s a freaking phone people. Who in their right mind queues up outside a store for two or more days just so they can get a new phone.
The iPhone needs an additional item included in it’s box – a straight jacket, plus pre-programmed to dial your nearby mental hospital on power up so they can take you away to the special room with padded walls.
That reporter is a complete douchebag. I don’t care how ridiculous he thinks it is to wait in line for an iPhone, mocking people on the streets and asking if they’ve ever seen a woman naked before does not even resemble journalism. That betrays a lack of professionalism that would insence even most bloggers.
