A Two-minute iPhone 4 'Antennagate' summary, Sims-style

Follow my_iria on Twitter

'Antennagate' has hit Taiwan's NMA news agency. The folks there have used "Sims"-style animation before to lampoon various events (like the Leno - Conan blow-up), so why not take the time to skewer Apple over the iPhone 4's "death grip" issues?

In particular, considering the title ("Reality distortion field remains strong with Steve Jobs after antennagate" you can guess the star of the video: the Dark Lord of the Sith himself. You may not see the special guest, who is soundly defeated by the Dark Lord shortly into the video, though.

Indeed, it's not in English, but the events of the iPhone 4 saga are so clearly laid out, who needs sound? The video even covers the police break-in of Jason Chen's residence, as well as the suicide issues at Foxconn's Shenzhen plant.

We particularly enjoyed the Star Wars-like solution to the "death grip," which involved a lightsaber. It is probably cheaper (not counting the energy cells used to power the lightsaber), though perhaps more expensive in terms of body parts.
