Only in america...

America is a pretty materialistic country, wouldn't you say?

But I never knew the extent that peopl,e would go to to get a coveted consumer item such as this:

If you don't know what this is you've been living under a rock this summer.

What would you do to get an iPhone?

Would you make a deal with the devil and sell your soul?

Would you sell you first born child?

What about selling your future children?

That's kinda what Mr. Johnson did. This man made the huge mistake of purchasing hte $600.00 phone without the permission of his (fiscally responsible) better half. When she found out that he had made the reckless purchase, she (as any demanding female would) made him return the phone immeadiately.

Except after bringing his new toy back to the store, Mr Johson fell into a depressive funk:
He was sad, non-talkative, down, depressed. You know, putting the Bambi Eyes and sighing at the sight of any Apple logo on display. The whole treatment. Noticing it, she broke the question:

— Honey, how badly you want the iPhone?

— Badly —he said, puppy eyes again, no doubt— very badly.

"Would you be willing to finally make that appointment for a vasectomy?" she replied.

Mr. Johnson absolutely loves his new 8GB iPhone
Only in America would a man trade his (symbolic) manhood for the latest piece of technology. Actually, maybe in Japan, too...
