Apple says it is not to blame for exploding iPhones, but could not explain why it approved a Suicide Bomber app nor commercials in Mosual saying “Wanna blow up an American soldier? There’s an app for that.”
Bradley Tank
Cubs General Manager Jim Hendry says an exploding Milton Bradley is not his help, but could not explain his signature on Bradley’s contract nor his idea currently being considered by Apple for an iBradley app that would come with the tagline: “Want a douchebag playing right field for you? There’s an app for that.”

ATM APB
Police are denying reports that all 50 aldermen are suspects in this caper.
