Today’s Guardian provides a telling insight into how much sucking up O2 had to do to make sure Jobsy gave the network operator the enigmatic nod ahead of tomorrow’s expected iPhone announcement. Despite founding the company on minimalist hippie-kissing values it seems Apple’s iPhone negotiators were trained by Mossad’s flaming pit bull division, bartering a 40% rev share split on handset usage.   

The announcement, which is set for tomorrow at Apple’s flagship London store, has caused the Thames to start flowing backwards and the Queen is even said to have set fire to a Corgi in celebration.  It is also rumored that Apple employees will be wearing tie-dye t-shirts and purple dungarees for the occasion, although this is yet to be confirmed.
