To everyone else its self-parody

The iphone coverage on the web has been incredible, to say the least. You would think BB, the hipest of the tech blogs, would have some incredible content. Other than the rehashes you'll find at better sites like engadged.com or digg.com Today they posted not one, but two, iphone articles. The first being an unfunny last supper parody, which is the visual equivalant of a chain-letter joke you might get from grandma. The second is a goatse jpeg formatted to fit the iphone screen. Goatse? Hello, Xeni, 1997 is calling. Thanks but no thanks. What's next? Tubgirl? Maybe if Apple actually released an SDK someone could port a flash animation of the infamous screaming head. Of course if you read BB, you probably haven't been told that there is no SDK for the iphone and how this limits the device. Considering neither Cory nor Xeni (or perhaps all of them) aren't coders, I'm not sure they even know what an SDK is. Although, "look at the pretty pictures of the iphone, isnt it pretty, it even shows goatse" level posts are the norm for BB.
