    jailbreaking is like sleeping with whores, with no condoms. You take your chances. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    @Noobs-R-Us: not jailbreaking is like letting someone else put a used condom on you, that you can't change... and you don't even know who else used it, ew! #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    @brendolonius: hum, I think you have that wrong. Not jailbreaking is like having clean-certified condoms to use. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    Or, y'know, you could just not jailbreak. It would save a lot of trouble. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    @Lukasz Fabis: Nay! You must cast of the chains of oppression & tyranny that Steve Jobs has placed upon you. Fight the good fight. Never give up! Never surrender! Or you could just move to the land of the free by buying the Droid. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    @NorwoodIsMyHero:
    I'm perfectly content with my iPhone as it is.

    I've tried jailbreaking a couple of times. All the half-assed features and ugly workarounds offered by it aren't worth the hit to stability.

    I'm sure there are people that (tastelessly) want to make their iPhones look like Windows Vista. I'm sure there are people that want their phone to vibrate like a dildo when typing messages. I'm sure there are people that want to waste resources by running several apps concurrently.

    I'm not one of them.

    @Lukasz Fabis: Hey, not jailbreaking is fine if all you want is fart apps. But if you want to do things that are actually useful (as others pointed out, Skype, Pandora, etc), then backgrounding is a must.

    And before you flame me, I'm just echoing your hyperbolic style on the other side.

    @HeartBurnKid:
    I'm not much of a flamer.

    I still fail to see what jailbreaking has to offer there, though. Skype and Pandora are still usable without jailbreaking. Sure, you can get workarounds for some of those apps' shortcommings, but I certainly don't feel the tradeoffs are worth it. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    I don't know which is sadder. The fact that my jailbroken iPhone can now get worms, or the fact that I already had a Rick Astley ringtone.

    I'm thinking the second one. #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken

    I am sorry for your virus, but this is funny. A good Monday morning chuckle. (Now I will be humming that song all day.) #iphonewormrickrolljailbroken
