The death tally climbed to seven yesterday as the Canadian iPhone
riots showed no signs of abating. Angry mobs upset at Rogers' proposed
iPhone pricing and contract terms hurled PVRs and molotov cell phones
at riot police outside of Rogers' headquarters.

A militant group calling itself the Kanada iPhone Liberation League,
or KiLL, issued a statement that they would struggle for an affordable
iPhone with unlimited data "by any means necessary", threatening to
turn all Rogers-owned business into "a sea of fire".

"It is of national importance that we liberate the iPhone," read a
statement from the KiLL. "For one year, Canadians have suffered
without its greatness. At long last it has arrived, but our patience
has been met with ruthless price-gouging that emmasculates the iPhone
experience. We must stop this unfair pricing immediately, or Canada
will witness a mass exodus never seen before as people flee to the
USA, the UK, Germany, or any other country that offers unlimited data.
We will attack Rogers in the streets, on the fields, on the seas, and
on our blogs until our demands are met."

Sammy Roguey, a military analyst with the Canadian armed forces,
expressed skepticism that the KiLL's tactics would be effective.
"Rogers is traditionally a no-compromise organization", he explained.
"They have a scorched-earth policy. The KiLL discovered this earlier
this week, when they kidnapped several Rogers staff. That kind of
pressure might have worked against another company, but Rogers simply
fired the abducted staff for their unauthorized absence, thus leaving
the KiLL with no bargaining chip."

The angry mobs aren't there about the FruitFone. Canadians have hated
Rogers for decades before the FruitFone was invented....(c;
