Hilarious Apple iPhone Brick Fallout

I'm loving the shit that is flying regarding the "Apple bricked my iPhone with an update" thing. Short summary for those that don't care.

Apple release iPhone in the US for a staggering amount of cash.
Apple Tarts flock to buy it.
Apple Tart Geeks apply hacks to iPhone (invalidating their contract with AT&T and Apple).
Apple announce future updates might break the iPhone if it's been hacked.
Apple release update to iPhone 1.1.1
Apple Tarts apply update to hacked iPhones regardless.
iPhone bricks, duh.
Cue a "storm" of outraged Apple Tarts posting sob stories, legal threats, stunned reaction to Jobs doing this to them... it's endless and completely hilarious.

Here's a vid of some poor sucker "discussing" his brick with an Apple "genius" employee, I love it. The look of incredulity on the guys face, the attitude of the "genius" trying to force it back into the customer's hand... hahahahaha. I mean, hahahahahaha.

Now I'm sure that only a few thousand iPhones will have been bricked, but they're likely to be owned by the most ardent Apple Tarts who will vent their spleen on as many of the interweb's community sites as they can. Reading the comments about this subject on a few of the stories I've seen is the best free entertainment you'll get this weekend. If there was a crime for bad analogies then some of these threads would be up for a life sentence.
