MEL GIBSON THE FIRST PERSON TO RECEIVE NEW IPHONE 4 CASE
July 19 2010
Hollywood, CA – Tinseltown has always been a place of dreams. For some, a rare few, those dreams end up fulfilling their greatest desires. For others those dreams turn into nightmares, crushing their spirit and sapping what little spirit they have for 
life. For others it is a mixed bag. They achieve success but eventually see it unravel. Some, like Robert Downey Jr. and Mickey Rourke, are able to redeem themselves eventually but for others it is a fall into ignominy that disgraces themselves and tarnishes their long term reputation.
Names like Fatty Arbuckle, Tallulah Bankhead, River Phoenix, and more recently Corey Haim are just a few of the names on the long list of stars who made it to the big time, fell hard, and never recovered. The victims of circumstance and their own personal demons, those examples show the humanity of the elite and the dangers of the lives we all live. Though the final chapter has yet to be written, the sad decline of Mel Gibson seems to have only one sensible conclusion. In a year that saw him starting to make a comeback from his 2006 scandals he has once again become embroiled in a personal drama played out in public. This time thought there may be no return for Gibson despite likely pleas of misunderstanding and tampering, part of which has been solved with the recent iPhone fix.
“This has been blown so out of proportion, it's incredible. This is life in the smartphone world. Phones aren't perfect. Most every smartphone we tested behaved like this. We’re not perfect. Phones aren’t ideal either but we want to make all of our users happy,” said Apple CEO Steve Jobs of the recent iPhone issues. “It’s very hard to escape the conclusion that there is a problem but that problem is affecting a very small percentage of our users. To our customers who are affected by the issue, we are extremely sorry. To those investors who bought the stock and are down by $5, I have no apology.”
The company’s fix to the ongoing antenna issues is a free case, the first of which will be issued to Gibson in an effort to stave off any potential litigation related to his recent telephone rants.
“The recordings were made quite a while ago so they weren’t made with the iPhone 4 but Gibson has long been a fan of Apple products. We knew that he had one of the phones and we simply didn’t want any problems with the new phone. The last thing anyone wants is for him to be misunderstood,” said an Apple insider. “I mean he’s having enough problems with that, the last thing we want is for people to realize that’s he’s using an iPhone. You’ve heard the quality of those recordings, we don’t want people thinking that that is a flaw with the phones. We can’t do much about the content of his conversations, but we do want to make sure that whatever he’s saying is coming out crystal clear.”
Gibson’s profanity laced diatribes to his ex-girlfriend have been noted for their static and muffled nature. 
“We have here two very divergent controversies but they both seem to have a common theme. These onetime giants are being undone by something that would seem a small issue, an isolated problem affecting only a small number of people. Yet this small problem is bringing down giants. It’s an interesting synergy and not altogether surprising,” said Scrape TV Technology analyst Ken Kevins. “Apple will undoubtedly bounce back from this. The same can’t be said for Gibson more than likely. At least people will understand what both sides are saying and sometimes that’s enough to build bridges fix damage.”
Reports indicate that Gibson may be moving out of the country which would cause serious issues with his continued use of Apple phones.
