The Daily Show takes on the Verizon iPhone

Jon Stewart Verizon iPhone

While the tech world debates both the merits and the shortcomings of the Verizon iPhone, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart and John Oliver used the occasion to do some good ol' AT&T bashing. They celebrated the announcement of the Verizon iPhone with a rousing chant of "Freedom!" and poked fun at the dropped calls that plague iPhone owners on AT&T. The pinnacle of the seven-minute skit occurred when a band of frustrated iPhone owners trampled an AT&T sign. You can enjoy watching the segment in its entirety after the break.

The video comes straight from The Daily Show's website, which uses Flash; sorry!

Strange, I live around the NYC area and I don't have a dropped call issue. Maybe my idea of common sense is completely wrong but, I don't think people would of been lining up in droves to buy something that doesn't work. I can't imagine there being lines around the block and a waiting list for a new Sony TV that has the best picture of any out there but it turns itself off all the time. The grass always looks greener when your viewing from far on the other side but when you get a close look the brown spots and weeds are just a prevalent as the lawn you just came from.

I haven't had a problem with AT&T. To me it's not any worse than other carriers, Verizon and Sprint, I've used.
It's easy to pile on, and quite frankly I'm tired of Jon Stewart.
Probably safe to say he's sponsored by Verizon instead of AT&T.

Either that, or he lives in or around NYC-- where AT&T has had the most issues?

Strange - I can't view the video since I've disallowed third-party content through Flash Player. Sad - it was probably funny. I doubt funny enough to allow tracking cookies though!
