The Banned iPhone 4S Promo Video
by Sebastien on Oct 7, 2011
The guys that brought us the banned iPhone 4 promo videos are back at it! They’re even funnier than last year. I can’t get enough of these videos.
My favorite part starts at about 35 seconds in, when the drunk VP of Siri talks about the assistant who “listens to you, and understands you, and doesn’t judge you, it doesn’t f***ng nag you about why you’re so late coming home from work”… Read More

by Sebastien on Sep 30, 2011

It’s called Angry Frogs. It looks like Angry Birds, it plays like Angry Birds, heck, the name even sounds like Angry Birds. The only difference is that you’re not using birds against pigs. You’re using frogs against snakes… Read More
