“I Am Rich” (the $999 iPhone app): A Guided Tour (via TUAW)

This is ancient as far as internet time goes (read: 2 days old), but it just cracks me up every time I see it.

Wondering who would actually buy a $999 “art piece” iPhone application?  Well the narrator seems to be a 17 year old with his fair share of disposable cash.  One of the other videos on his Youtube account chronicals him and his friends as they have a total nerdgasm walking running and screaming into the auditorium for Steve Jobs’ keynote at Macworld 2008.  Oh, and if you were wondering if anyone could possibly be creepier than Apple’s offical iPhone demonstator, NPomerleau has managed to do that as well. Keep in mind, however, that NPomeleau is not made of money.  Though he loves to splurge on expensive applications for his iPod Touch, he won’t be caught dead paying more than $20 for jewelry.

A cracked version of I Am Rich is available for download here.  And, of course, you should only download it if you need a backup and you were one of the 8 legit purchasers of the original application.  Regular schmucks like me don’t deserv it.
