Stephen Colbert Isn’t Afraid of the iPhone’s Kill Switch

What’s the #1 threat facing America? According to pundit Stephen Colbert, it’s the hateable iPhone. After discovering it has a kill switch to remotely remove malicious apps, the phone went straight to the top of Colbert’s Threat Down list—even edging out bears. He says the switch is designed to “kill you”, and though that may be wrong for now, you never know what Steve Jobs is cooking up in Cupertino. But Stephen isn’t afraid of death; he stares the iPhone down Clint Eastwood-style—until his mum calls. Oh, he also trashes Zunes and shows us his feminine side with that SATC ringtone. Clip above.

    Hey there’s an idea – pick on the Zune! And the last generation version at that! That’s always guaranteed a laugh.

    I don’t get why this guy’s “funny”. I secretly suspect it’s Steve Jobs with a mask pushing anti-everything-that-isn’t-apple propaganda.

    It’s people like this guy who cause splits in the community (over gadgets of all stupid things – there’s enough fodder already with religion & politics) leading to fanboy-ism, leading to extreme fanboy-ism, leading to armed clashes between militant Apple & anti-Apple guerrilla units in open urban warfare. Crossfire will lead to casualties of innocents. All because it’s fun to pick on something anti-apple. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
