Kiefer Sutherland Tries to Get Early iPhone 3G, But Is Snubbed Instead
We went through an embarrassing phase where we were addicted to Fox's episodic-patriotic t.v. series '24'. But now we're over it. So are the employees at the Apple Store, apparently, since they denied our boy Kief an advance copy of the new iPhone.
Word has it that Sutherland and lady friend Siobhan Bonnouvrier pulled out all the stops while trying to peer pressure a New York City Apple Store manager into snagging them an iPhone 3G before its official release date on July 11. But, like the raspy-voiced chanteuse Amy Winehouse he said no, no, no, alleging that the store didn't have any of the phones yet and that his "hands are tied..."
Kiefer and company didn't take it well, though. According to Defamer, after bringing up his '24' character Jack Bauer, "matters of national security," and the whole "do you know who I am" spiel, the peeved pair threatened store employees with jive like "next time it's personal," and "it's not over between us!"
Sorry guys, but it so is. [Source: Defamer]

Did he ask them "who are you working for?"

I knew that the nefarious Steve Jobs was behind this! Getting patriots addicted to his shiny toys and then denying them the sustenance which they so desperately seek!
Questions:
1. Which Apple Store are they referring to? THere are two in Manhattan (if thats what they mean when they say "New York City". One is on Prince and Mercer and one is on 59th Street - that's the super duper nice one. From the looks of it, this appears to be the Prince St. location, but can we get a clarification on that location... Jack?
2. Are we all less safe now that Jack Bauer was denied access to
the all-powerful and ultra necessary 3G?
By the way, is it me, or does Keifer's girlfriend look strikingly similar to Sarah Silverman (which I would continue to think the woman was if the caption didn't declare otherwise.)

There's actually three Apple Stores in Manhattan, there's a new one on 14th street and 9th Avenue.

Ok, my husband works for a cell phone service, and I know for a fact that when they are coming out with a new phone they are not allowed to sell it before its debu date. If the manager said they didn't have the phone in stock yet, then he most likely didn't, and if he said, no way, good for him. Its good to know that not everyone loses their common sense when they see a celeb. Also, I think its pretty pathetic that Keifer threw a fit because he couldn't get what he wanted when he wanted it. I mean really, just because he's "famous" doesn't mean rules, laws and policies don't apply to him. Talk about a spoiled brat. Where was his mom during that temper tantrum. These are the people we're supposed to have as rolemodels, no wonder kids are turning into bigger and bigger brats! Sheesh!

Well, I've personally met Kiefer at the small (very small) town that I live near (he was there roping w/some buddies) and I have to say I was VERY impressed with Kiefer's demeanor. He was NOT A SNOB AT ALL. In fact, he was very polite and we even spoke for a few minutes about roping, weather, traveling, etc. I'm not sure who's the source for this article but I don't believe the "tantrum" or rude behavior.

Just because you are an actor, doesn't mean you can get it any earlier than the rest of the public. Hey, why not call the iphone company and get a celebrity endorsement for a free one.

Sometimes the 15 minutes of fame lasts a whole 24 hours.

BOOOOOOOOOOOURNS!!!!!
maryJun 24th 2008 4:59PM
that is so lame- feel sorry for kiefer for being so stupid and thinking hes that special--it almost as lame as the pic w/ him totally wasted and his boxer w/ pants around his ankles...
if your all that why not contact corp. headquarters or steve jobs....not a local store! get a clue! mr secret agent!

George Washington fought the revolution to rid this country of dominance by royalty. King George III has been replaced by celebrities and politicians. The only similarity is that they're all nuts.

Honestly, had I have the clerk would not have known who the devil he was as (gasp, shock gasp) I don't watch the program, never did and more then likely never will..
JayJun 24th 2008 4:33PM
speaking of Keifer - when the heck is 24 coming back on?
JeniferJun 24th 2008 5:32PM
Re: 24 is due to return in January of 2009. Well that is what is listed on the website for that show. www.fox.com

Boo Hoo. These 'actors', i.e., 'posers', make we want to hurl. I am surprised his head didn't explode. I had some respect for him for doing his time and acting humble.....guess he was doing just that: acting.
PhilipJun 24th 2008 4:46PM
My guess is someone from Apple has already contacted them and sent the phone. Rules are only for us common folk.
HeidiJun 24th 2008 4:46PM
Well, they want to be treated like everyone else and when it happens, they don't like it. Why should he get one ahead of everyone else? He's an actor for crying out loud! He fills a position for a job to perform. If he didn't fit the criteria for that job, someone else would have gotten it. He's not so special. Just because he's on camera means nothing. Acting is a job same as every other job. Kiefer has to have a resume just like everyone else and if he is not suitable for the position, then someone else would be.
DebbieJun 24th 2008 4:47PM
Leave Kiefer alone!!!! Afterall, how many times has he saved the world??? AND he works really hard in a 24 hour period (when does he find time to use the potty???) The man deserves some respect so give him his friggin iphone!!!
JAY!!! There's supposed to be a made for TV movie in November and the regular season will start in January 2009.
