The iPhone Savior received more than a dozen anonymous tips that Apple staffers have been smuggling large quantities of 3G iPhones into Apple stores through keenly devised fat suits. The so called iPhone mules have been allegedly spotted at several key locations including the Apple flagship store on 5th Avenue in Manhattan and also in Pasadena, California.
One staffer we approached refused to comment on our findings then randomly asked; "What has two thumbs and smuggles iPhone 2? This guy!", said Randy Dern after flashing us two big thumbs-up.
Shortly after Fortune.com reported that two of Apple’s long-time manufacturing partners for desktop computers have imported 188 ocean containers of a product type never before declared on its shipping manifests, the iPhone 2 email tips started coming in. One tipster claimed that lines forming outside the Manhattan Apple store we're being used by several iPhone mules posing as loyal, gravitationally challenged cult of iPhone customers in order to deliver their loads. More to come on these sorted rumors.
Free funny.......hehehehe

Gary... you've managed to misconstrue our brand of failed, hack journalism aimed at elevating the lowest common denominator as thoughtful news reporting. We don't shoot the photos of Apple fanatics performing dumb people tricks, we simply exploit them.
We are not fat haters, nor do we hate Steve Jobs or the Apple brand for that matter. In fact, most of the iPhone Savior staff are gravitationally challenged, unemployed misfits. We adore all that is Apple, choosing to point out the fanatical insanity that the cult produces. A random seagull attack on a toddler captured with an iPhone, now that's news!
If there's no iPhone news then we're thrilled to completely make it up. We're willing to fabricate, twist and distort any concept worthy of our gaze. We've mastered the art of turning lemons into lemon piss, then filling our water balloons with that piss so we can bomb the known universe while we belly laugh out loud. We invite the world to laugh along with us. It's really that simple.

OK, for the record, this photo came from a batch that was downloaded from an Apple store's iPhone display models, and then posted on flickr. Then the employee who did the posting was fired for doing so. Second, aren't we way beyond posting "fat" jokes, especially at the expense of some identifiable person? Are we 10 years-old? Kick Steve Jobs, kick the stores, but give the working stiffs a break.
