Castro Anticipates Owning First iPhone In Cuba

HAVANA, CUBA - Retired Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro was reported to be exceptionally perky today after Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez presented him with a bigger than life poster of Apple's new iPhone 3G as down payment for the real thing. Chavez supposedly pledged his personal commitment to Fidel that he would return with an authentic iPhone 3G when the wildly popular device launches worldwide on July 11th. According to sources, Chavez would not detail which carrier he intends to persuade in order to gain 3G service in Cuba.

Insiders close to Castro have indicated that Cuba's infamous dictator has secretly lusted after Apple's revolutionary device since President Raul Castro's government authorized Cubans to obtain cellular telephones. Some have speculated that Fidel heavily influenced Raul's decision. The idea of internet in his pocket has brought tremendous pleasure to Fidel who's become anxious to be the first cult of iPhone member in Cuba, according to brother Raul. Serious health issues have prevented the move until now.

Viva la iPhone Revolucion!

It's good to know that Cuba is finally coming into the new age. The Castro brothers should both get iPhones so they can SMS together. Bueno!
