Want an iPhone 5? Just try to pick this one up off the street

Everyone is looking for an easier way to get their hands on a brand-new iPhone 5 — a way that doesn't involve languishing in an endless line, anyway. A bunch of pranksters from the Netherlands (where Apple's latest, sexiest must-have gadget won't be released until next week), exploited that desire in this funny gag in which they superglued a new iPhone 5 to a busy sidewalk in Amsterdam. Curious passers-by stop to inspect it, attempt to pick it up, kick it, and even stomp on it — whatever it takes to get that damn phone! Consider it a 21st century version of  "The Sword in the Stone." Where's Merlin's magic when you need it?
