Sanity prevails: people find other people sexier than iPhone

So buried in some long poll conducted by Zobgy International and 463 Communications on the unexciting topic of "Internet Attitudes" is this little gem: in a head-to-head battle with various celebrities in the category of sexiness, the iPhone gets thoroughly trounced. In other words, much to the dismay of the residents of Massachusetts, it seems that people are still more attracted to other people than they are to technology -- and by a pretty wide margin. With only 6% of respondents placing it in the top slot (to be fair, the same percentage picked Derek Jeter), the iPhone trailed far behind Halle Berry at 27%, Scarlett Johansson at 17%, and even Patrick Dempsey, who managed to score 14% of the vote despite the fact that he pays women to pretend to be his girlfriend. As do, we suspect, those troubled few who find a telephone sexier than members of their own species.

Well, duh. The choice is obvious... iPhone or Justine, Justine wins.

[jkwong111 @ Oct 24th 2007 4:12PM]

Same with Veronica... sorry, Ryan.

[James @ Oct 24th 2007 4:45PM]

iPhone can't give blowjobs. Nuff' said.

[nih @ Oct 24th 2007 5:52PM]

iJustine would bite your wang off and put it on youtube. You do realise her jaw opens to 180 degrees and is filled with tiny clicking cogs and serrated blades, right? There's probably even a mouthcam in there.

[spass @ Oct 24th 2007 6:46PM]

Yeah, but I'd still keep my iphone under the pillow, even with Justine on top...

[spyyder @ Oct 24th 2007 9:09PM]

@James

Someone will make it happen, Wait for the iPhone SDK :-)

[Rjay @ Oct 25th 2007 2:12AM]

This iJustine girl always has that "crazy ex-girlfriend" look in her eyes.

CAPTION: "Hunny, I thought you deleted Sarah from your contacts."

[Matthew Hilario @ Oct 24th 2007 4:04PM]

what happened to the traditional engadget azn girl?

[justin @ Oct 24th 2007 4:11PM]

i will light a candle for her outside my window until she returns.

[darkstar @ Oct 24th 2007 6:10PM]

amen!

[CUBSWILLWIN @ Oct 24th 2007 4:05PM]

Its the 300 page iphone bill lady!!! Hi!

[Ray-- @ Oct 24th 2007 5:25PM]

no this is the paid-by-apple-actress-pretending-to-be-just-an-huge-apple-fan girl...

[justin @ Oct 24th 2007 4:07PM]

People are actually attracted to their iPhone?

I shudder to think how the iPhone users' male connector interfaces with the device.

[paloooz @ Oct 24th 2007 4:13PM]

It works quite well, actually. You lose a bit of accuracy depending on the man, though ...

[Andir3.0 @ Oct 24th 2007 7:34PM]

iPhones don't cry when you forget Valentines day, Birthdays, etc. They are there when you need them and you can just stick them in your pocket when your done.

[Anthony @ Oct 24th 2007 4:15PM]

Notice the N95 isn't listed?... Oh, N95. I love you so. & your two sisters too: N95 8gb & N95-3.

[kevinm @ Oct 24th 2007 4:16PM]

oh Justine... of coarse I'd pick her.

[maxd @ Oct 24th 2007 4:19PM]

To be fair, why didn't you include a pic of an iphone? I mean it seems only fair that the hot chick should at least.. heyyy, wait a second..

[fanguad @ Oct 24th 2007 4:24PM]

It's also possible that (like me), those surveyed didn't have any clue who the listed celebrities were. If I were given that poll, I'd have to pick iPhone just because it's the only thing I recognized.

Oh, and the fact I live in MA is pure coincidence...

[giedrys @ Oct 24th 2007 4:31PM]

What is that funny looking gadget on her hat?

[highjumpman @ Oct 24th 2007 4:32PM]

6%? Is there a market for iphone pron?

[Skeezle @ Oct 24th 2007 5:10PM]

there is a market for *any* kind of prøn

That girl in the photo is crazy hot! who is she?

[Kal-El @ Oct 24th 2007 10:20PM]

Rule 34.

[paul34 @ Oct 24th 2007 4:33PM]

The human species is a strange one, to be sure. I am not certain your people are ready for first contact yet. We shall wait another 100 years.

[Edge @ Oct 24th 2007 4:54PM]

In another hundred years, we'll be even more f'd up...

[boe @ Oct 24th 2007 4:34PM]

That picture is messed up - her eye closest the camera looks like it is about a half inch higher than her other and it looks like it is an inch from her nose.

[tED @ Oct 24th 2007 4:36PM]

i'D HIT IT.

[Jonathan-DBOSS @ Oct 24th 2007 7:51PM]

lol!! Oh iFoam!!

[EngadgetFanBoi @ Oct 24th 2007 4:36PM]

I'm guessing engadget's traffic clogged her site...

[pcdsim @ Oct 24th 2007 5:31PM]

Is it me or is she Brooke Hogan's doppleganger?

[paloooz @ Oct 24th 2007 5:35PM]

I tried to fix it, but now it just looks kinda creepy...

Having to choose between Paris Hilton and an iPhone is not a reliable way to determine if our species is more attracted to technology. As James said, the "iPhone can't give blowjobs". But what if you had to choose between Paris Hilton and a blowjob giving robot?

[Cagrino @ Oct 24th 2007 5:53PM]

All I'm saying is the robot can be Lysol-ed...

[fractal @ Oct 24th 2007 6:03PM]

Real women can be lysol-ed too! http://www.mum.org/lysol1.htm

[Josh @ Oct 24th 2007 6:05PM]

I would always go with the chick, but it never hurts when you combine an iPhone with a hot chica, she is ALWAYS a winner in the game of life.

[01 @ Oct 24th 2007 6:28PM]

Justine hotter than the iPhone? Sorry, don't think so...once she starts talking I want to shoot myself in the face.

[Paul Hung @ Oct 24th 2007 10:03PM]

Totally agree with you. And she's not hot at all, just another typical rich/spoiled blonde...

[Mike Klein @ Oct 25th 2007 5:37AM]

Runaway bride anyone?

[Galley @ Oct 25th 2007 8:32AM]

Women are without a doubt God's greatest creation. The iPhone? It's number 4 (behind baseball and the Fender Stratocaster).

[James @ Oct 25th 2007 3:41PM]

So *nobody* has commented on Halle Berry beating Scarlett Johansson? You have *got* to be effing kidding me.

[Mikki @ Oct 30th 2007 2:07PM]

stop blogging and go do something productive instead of rating iPhones and women!

[Mikki @ Oct 30th 2007 2:12PM]

STOP BLOGGING AND GO DO SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE INSTEAD OF COMPARING IPHONES AND WOMEN AND RATING THEM

[jaerisk @ Oct 30th 2007 2:49PM]

iPhone won't give you aids like Justine yo

[JC @ Oct 30th 2007 3:03PM]

"The iPhone may help you get some sex". Ladies always come up to me and ask to handle my iPhone. I Gladly Whip It Out!

[gracey912 @ Oct 30th 2007 6:03PM]

FYI - Patrick Dempsey is and has been married; check your facts.

[Rocky @ Oct 30th 2007 8:12PM]

I should hope that one would find another of the opposite sex more attractive than a pieve of plastic of a gadget or device. If not than one is in need of pysch. help immediately.

[ha ha ha @ Oct 30th 2007 10:02PM]
