Stephen gets his iPhone? – Another amusing story from the Charleston Riverdogs game

From the Post-Normal Times blog:

PNT Exclusive – Stephen Colbert answers the call

Special to the Post-Normal Times. If you watched the Colbert report last week, you may recall, that Stephen had a fit because USA Today, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal all received iphones before he did. Saturday evening, after he pitched the first pint of “Stephen Colbert’s Americone Dream” ice cream to Jerry (of Ben & Jerry’s) at the Charleston Riverdogs baseball game, he was presented with the one pictured above. So he answered it. I guess we will get his review when he goes back on the air next week. Jerry dished out ice cream. Then the game got rained out. But Americone Dream is now available at all area Piggly Wiggly’s. Proceeds go to the Americone Dream Fund to support various charities. So you may eat it in good conscience.

As for the iphone, I didn’t get one to review either, but I caught a glimpse of the other kind, belonging to a friend – it was impossible to get out of the hands of a child. I don’t like it because you can’t read books on it. So I guess its perfect for Stephen – since he doesn’t read.
