In his “ThreatDown” segment, The Colbert Report’s Stephen Colbert (Comedy Central) called the iPhone the No. 1 threat in America, because Apple CEO Steve Jobs confirmed that the device includes a “kill switch.”
Killer iPhones: Your iPhone’s kill switch doesn’t remove undesirable software — it kills you. – Stephen Colbert
“I knew I should have gotten a Zune,” he said. “They can’t kill me — or do anything else.”

Zune was in two of the 5 threats. The iPhone and the giant inflatable poo.

The Kill switch is necessary to provide intervention to the inevitable iPhone addicts so the epidemic does not escalate into the Crackberry scale. It’s good for some of you.
I saw a man killed by a giant, inflatable poo. Not the way one would want to go, I can assure you.
Wow! That bit kills me!
Sorry Had to say it.
Thanks for the breaking the monotony of my Monday with some comedy. I needed that laugh. Too funny.
The Zune is good for something. If you have the classic brown color, you can use it as a weapon. When attacked pull it out and show the attacker that you are going to throw it at them. They will think its POOP and run off. Who wants POOP thrown at them. No one, not even hardened criminals. Zune = simulated POOP deterrent.
The joke itself (the one about the Zune) didn’t sound all that hillarious when I read it. After seeing Colbert’s delivery, though, it was a riot!
Nothink like free publicity!
Zune has been known to bore people to death, however.
Sex and the City is his Mom’s ringtone? LOL! I knew Stephen was gay!
Damn, that guy is really not funny, who would watch this stuff..??
ARRRGH! Giant killer POO!
I remember when someone brought me seven of these to play with and wanted me to use them all in a row. I never trusted that person again because their request was so abusive and line-crossing. Then they tried this a second time.
The Prisoner would have been much more chilling had Patrick McGoohan been attacked by a giant inflatable dog poo every time he tried to escape from The Village.
Ah, but Chrissy, had Number 6 stepped in poo on the beach, we all know that scuffing your foot in sand is the best method to get poo OFF your shoe.
Wow, that reply was painfully stupid… forgive me!
Be seeing you!
Colbert rules!

Apple couldn’t have wished for this kind of publicity…, and it’s funny , even to a wannabee geek like me…
In case anyone would care,… the Dailyshow is the very show that re-assures me somehow that the US are not a complete idiocracy just yet.

Greetings from Belgium!*
(* google it, it’s in allegedly somewhere in Europe…
Belgium, in Europe, yeah right….
Europe is Germany, England, and France, oh and Switerland perhaps. That about covers it 4 or 5 counties. Who are you trying to kid?
