Geoff Evila recently awoke from a 4-month coma and realized that he’d missed camping out for the launch of the iPhone.
His buddy Steve dropped by the Chandler, Arizona Apple Store and relayed Geoff’s story of an almost-deadly car crash turned 4-month coma and convinced the store’s employees to do their best to recreate the excitement of June 29th, the iPhone’s original launch date when Geoff showed up to purchase his iPhone.
"Geoff was blown away, he limped through the store holding up his iPhone proud as can be while everyone cheered him on. I had the old Geoff back except now with a better phone, his last Verizon phone sucked," said Steve.
Pretty cool story if it’s true. Hell, even if it’s not. At any rate, Steve hasn’t had the heart to tell Geoff that the whole thing was a setup yet. No harm done, though.
Out Of A Coma, Into The Apple Store [iPhone Savior]
Do you guys research your stories at all? This is so obviously fake; that pic is months old.
Fake or not… this guy saved himself lots of money on the purchase of an iPhone… the coma must have been a message from God to not believe the hype.

Yeah, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was reading something that could have been published by The Onion. Anyway, just trying to bring a little sunshine to the blogosphere, boyo. Sorry for ruining your night. That photo IS old, though, and there’s considerable belief that it’s a fake story. See comments on Digg (most left after I initially published the story):

Research? Why bother! Cut, copy & paste is all you need.
a very touching sunshine story :)
Are we sure that they did not reproduce the joy of the original price as well?
