Oh man if only this post were true:
From Steven J, of Cupertino, California: Dear Mr. Newman. I was wondering what you thought of the new iPhone, and did you wait in line to get one yourself?"
ANSWER: Steven, thanks for your e-mail. The ABA is very interested in Apple's new i-phone, and we hope that Apple would consider being a sponsor of the ABA, the largest professional basketball league in the world, with teams in Canada, Beijing and Mexico. I had thought about getting one of those i-phones, in fact while I was at McDonald's noshing on an Egg McMuffin, I came up with an idea that would allow the ABA to be the exclusive provider of basketball information for the thousands of i-phone owners. In fact, we're going to provide all i-phone users the opportunity to download our ABA ringtones for a small fee.
As for staying in line for days to get an i-phone, I decided against it, because I believe that once Apple, a reputable company, becomes one of our sponsors, they would provide myself and my operations staff with i-phones as part of their sponsor agreements. It's not like I would ever expect the Continental Basketball Association to do something like this, or the NBA Developmenting League, because all their teams are folding or moving.
The fact, however, that i-phones will have the ability to view YouTube clips means that any ABA footage that appears on YouTube will now appear on i-phones. In fact, I heard you can actually use an i-phone to dial someone up and tell them to come over and watch an ABA game, and see fan-friendly entertainment at affordable prices. Thanks for the letter, Steve. Hope to hear from you soon. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me at conniejoenewman@aol.com.
The above post is an example of fiction and satire, and should not be taken as the gospel truth.
