So last week, George Hotz accepted an offer for the world’s first unlocked iPhone. He traded his masterwork for a car and three more iPhones.

A little known story reveals that this is simply the last in a series of diabolical trades which earned Hotz the coveted iPhone. It all began a few short months ago with a red paperclip. A very phoneless Hotz was sitting at his computer playing Arena of Octos, when his eyes fell upon the aforementioned paperclip. A revelation hit him: why not try to trade this paperclip for an iPhone?

Hotz then made a litany of trades–his red paperclip for a blue paperclip, the blue paperclip for a wingnut, the wingnut for two yellow paperclips, the yellow paperclips for some yogurt, and finally the yogurt for a water-pistol, which he then used to hold up a New Jersey Apple outlet and steal an iPhone.

We offered George 29 iPoor units and Nowoz’s new 12-speed bicycle, but he had evidently been driven insane by the more than 500 hours he spent unlocking his iPhone–why else would he turn us down?

Give him a couple of months, and Hotz will be hard at work, trying to crack the uncrackable iPoor!
