Ellen DeGeneres gets a call from Apple

The TV talk show host runs a fake ad for the iPhone. Cupertino is not amused.

"I thought it was funny," she told her audience on Tuesday. "A bunch of people thought it was funny. You know who didn't think it was funny? Yeah, the people at Apple didn't think it was so funny."

Via Engadget's Joshua Topolsky, who suggests that Apple (AAPL) ought to learn how to take a joke.
