Actor Charlie Sheen’s been caught talking into an upside-down iPhone — no, no, not an LG Voyager or HTC Touch, those are upside-down and backwards badly faked iPhones — while “acting” in a scene with Jenny McCarthy on a recent episode of the CBS show “Two and a Half Men.”
Over on Engadget, Ryan Block writes, “Seriously, please don’t make us start another feature series of dumbass celebs holding the iPhone upside down. We’d have to call it upsidedownPhone or something equally insipid, and who wants that?”

Phone? What phone? Boy, Jenny’s looking good these days, isn’t she?
I can’t believe anyone actually watches that worthless show.
I was wondering how long it would take b4 we started seeing it on TV shows. I’ve seen ’em on quite a few thus far, and I didn’t realize they were still filming for the regular seasons this late in the year either (in order for them to have iPhones, that is). Guess this will be as oft seen as Apple computers on TV now, huh? Don’t hurt my feelings any… until they let dumb stuff like this slide thru editing.
Some wag over on Engadget said that an upside down iPhone is an !Phone

iPhones are popping up everywhere on TV these days and I don’t know that I’ve actually seen one used with the correct finger controls. Usually it’s a shot like the one with Charlie Sheen. I have noticed them on CSI New York quite a bit this season also.
Look around- Apple kit is EVERYWHERE with the logos covered up in some way. This is an interesting phenomenon- Apple is one of the only companies whose products are instantly recognizable, even without logos. Maybe the only company.
Too true. Especially Mac notebooks in ads. They always have a paper sticky note over the Apple on the back of the screen, or else photoshop it to a uniform gray. The configuration of Apple’s patented hinge is always the give-away, as are the ports on the side and the overall thinness no one else can match.
So what !!!! at least it’s an iPhone.
If he wants, he could even use it side ways.
Good time for a list of iPhone sightings on TV shows. Just saw one used, very well, on Without A Trace, and Moonlight’s lead Sophia Myles has had one from day one- it was even mentioned specifically.
“Right Guard…
…Upside down.”
Hot date tonight… remember.. Home button, front bottom (closes eyes to memorise) Home button front bottom….home button front…
Bionic Woman had a man talking on an iPhone upside down also. About 2 weeks ago
ron-
“Un-Hollywood”? Holly wood is what magic wands are made of. Hollywood is the land of illusion and trickery. Seems to me that the above photo still meets that criteria. Not “spellbinding”, but certainly an illusion. Not sure how that is un-hollywood?
MDN – serious

It’s the other way around. Apple would have to pay for the logo to be shown. Apple doesn’t do product placements.
… Oh Jenny………
She certainly is not Forrest Gump’s Jenny!
She is so sizzling…………..
Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but the antenna is at the bottom of the phone, so you actually get a few more bars of signal strength if you hold the phone upside down.
i managed to take an upside down photo the other day. I’m still not sure how that happened.
Shoot, if she was in my car, I wouldn’t even bother to answer the phone….
MDN will publish anything for a hit
Research shows that 4 out of 7 iphone users don’t know which way to hold the phone.
In practice this has turned out to be a benefit rather than a problem, since most people don’t like to listen too much to their iPhone pushing fanboy acquaintances
Same thing on the Journeyman pilot earlier this year: http://www.eliker.net/Site/Movie.html
If you’re still drooling over Jenny, you really need to join us in the 21st century…
Mts-so pretty women aren’t relevant in your version of the 21st century?
Then why would any of us want to join you there?
Just saw an episode of ‘House’, and they had two Apple monitors with the logo prominently displayed.
