Obit: Pigboat Explosion Kills iPhone Love Child Off Baja California Coast
CrunchGear is running a contest to give away a piece of crap MP4 music player. Details here:

What?? Did someone say “win a free geeky device”? Oh yes, my friend, they did! And of course, I just had to enter the contest!
To enter, you had to write a post on CrunchGear.com/bff saying what you’d do with it. Well, my post isn’t exactly about what to do with it, but since the key phrase “pigboat explosion” had to be in the subject line, it got the little wheels in my brain a-turning. So I wrote a fun little posting. Here’s an excerpt:
“McJobs, 2GB, lived a somewhat infamous lifestyle as he claimed to be the love child of the Apple iPhone and a Mexican prostitute, conceived during a drunken spring break excursion. The iPhone disavows any relationship to Mr. McJobs, but did admit to a weakness for cheap tequila. ”
Now, I guess I have to be careful if I were to win the device. According to the unfortunate, underpaid blog writer at TechCrunch who reviewed the device, use of the device “may cause herpes, loose stool, and renal failure.” Yikes! But I’m willing to take that chance for a piece of exotic gadgetry. After all, I do use a UIQ-based phone!
Meanwhile, have I mentioned my cool new scuba gear and underwater GPS unit? (Read the full post…)
