Zooey Deschanel has officially run out of cuteness in this depressing iPhone ad

Watching the sometimes too-adorable actress phone in a half-assed performance to the half-assed writing of this iPhone spot was almost depressing.

And, as Death + Taxes notes, "really? you’re getting tomato soup delivered?"

But perhaps the worst part of this is the over-promising of Siri's conversationality, as this nerdy guy demonstrates:

Gah.

"Geometric Porn" is not coming on your iPhone #FdAdFriday

"Something abstract existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence. Visual geometry containing the non-explicit description of sexual organs or activity. Arising in the mind it intends to stimulate erotic rather than aesthetic or emotional feelings."

I never thought math could be so dirty. Watch the demo videos, by Luciano Foglia, if you dare to enter the abstractly sexual world of Geometric Porn.

The designer himself says:

"Suitable for children. While there are innumerable ways that pornography harms children, Geometric Porn will not traumatise them in any way. The content of this website is suitable for children aged 4 or over 4+."

Nonetheless, Apple rejected the app, stating:

"Apps that present excessively objectionable or crude content will be rejected. We found that many audiences would find your app concept objectionable, which is not in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines."

 Judge for yourself...

Siri hates the Scots

"The best laid schemes o' mice and men gang aft agley!!!"

Voice recognition is an awkward thing. After reading that the new iPhone's digital assistant can't understand Scottish accents, YouTube comic thegavin2000 made this wee parody:
