It's no surprise that this weak display of utter iPhone news hackery turned out to be an elaborate hoax served up on a baguette with stinky cheese. The so called 'leaked screenshots' of an upcoming Nike+ application for the iPhone was generated by a French website called iPhon.fr. What the hell is an "iPhon"? It's friggin bad inglish, that's what!
"While Apple and Nike are indeed working to bring the Nike+ experience to Apple's touch-based handhelds sometime in the future, it may be some time before that application sees the light of day," AppleInsider reports.
Every tech website and their downey sister-sites quickly jumped on this original story like it was the last life preserver on the Titanic. Nobody noticed another lame post on that website featuring an iPhon dressed up like a deranged pirate on crack? That was my first clue something wasn't flushing right. Please!
This was the French equivalent of our "frozen Bigfoot" hoax, only hairier. I despise these hacks who fabricate iPhone news. Don't you?

How old are you to so stupidly talk about baguettes and stinky cheese. I haven't heard that since junior high...
As of the "iPhone.fr" thing, it is without a doubt because iPhone.fr was already taken or was a copyright infringement. Why do you think it's called "Mod My iFone"?
Blahhhh
