Who’s sexier, Scarlett Johannson or Apple’s iPhone?

Friday, October 26, 2007 - 08:45 AM EST

Zogby International and 463 Communications released the results of an online survey designed to examine people's attitudes about the Internet yesterday that found:

The self-esteem of Hollywood hotties is safe for now. Halle Berry, Scarlett Johansson and Patrick Dempsey are considered sexier than the iPhone, according to the poll. Respondents were asked who or what was sexier. Berry came in at 27 percent, Johansson had 17 percent and Dempsey got 14 percent. The iPhone tied with Derek Jeter at 6 percent.

barely, just barely sexier than my iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 07:49 am Comment from: Mike

The holy grail...ScarlettJ on my iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 07:57 am Comment from: Ray

This is scary. The day a product of any type is considered sexier than a person, we are doomed as a species.

Just my $0.02

Derek Jeter is VERY much like a machine. He has very little charisma or personality. So in a way it isn't surprising that he is about as sexy as a machine.

Don't get me wrong. He is a good looking man. But, that is a good looking phone.

Scarlett on the iPhone on the red carpet getting felt up by Isaac Mizrahi

Oct 26, 07 - 08:03 am Comment from: YouPorn

I'd rather have sex with Scarlett than my iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:03 am Comment from: Andy C.

@Ray
I don't know, there are some people that aren't sexy at all and if I had to make a choice between having an iPhone and having sex with someone I found repulsive, I'd pick the iPhone any day.

That being said, Scarlett Johannson is WAY sexier than the iPhone, but I suppose to some people who don't find her sexy, they might prefer an iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:03 am Comment from: Scarlett

How about Scarlett with an iPhone? She was cute in The Island.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:16 am Comment from: just passing through

No question about it. Monkey boy. I just love those sweat stains on his shirt when he tosses chairs.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:16 am Comment from: Forrest, Forrest Gump

Dear Dr. Heart:

I have a problem. Someone is offering me one of two: Scarlett Johansson or an iPhone. What should I choose?

Sincerely
Quandary one

Dear Quandary:
Well, You cannot call other chicks with Scarlett, but an iPhone will never despise you.

This is grotesque. Shit happens.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:17 am Comment from: Liquor Cerebrospinalis

iPhone 2.0, the Scarlett Johandset edition. Curved to fit your hand, stun gun attachment and user-replaceable batteries.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:23 am Comment from: hmmmm

a racial notice:

why is the title:
Who’s sexier, Scarlett Johannson or Apple’s iPhone?

and NOT:
Who’s sexier, Halle Berry or Apple’s iPhone?

hmmmm

Oct 26, 07 - 08:25 am Comment from: Liquor Cerebrospinalis

So, which race is the iPhone? Should the Aibo feel slighted?

(stupid reply to a stupid question)

Oct 26, 07 - 08:26 am Comment from: Movie guy

hmmmm,

Answer to your racial question/comment:

The answer is, Scarlett Johansen is sexier than Halle Berry because she doesn't have a $2 million boob job.

(Ironically, the MDN magic word is "large.")

"This is scary. The day a product of any type is considered sexier than a person, we are doomed as a species."

Only Apple fanboys are doomed as a species. There rest of us will continue to breed instead of wanking off over their phones and computers.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:33 am Comment from: hmmmm

@Movie guy
personally i think Scarlett Johannson is sexier but Halle got higher marks over all. so the title referring to the article should reflect that.

It's not a big deal. Just my 2 cents.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:33 am Comment from: Liquor Cerebrospinalis

The stink of a mouth-breathing troll already? That didn't take long.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:35 am Comment from: hello

@Movie guy
what a deal! $1 million per ....

Oct 26, 07 - 08:39 am Comment from: Mr. Peabody

Jessica Alba is far sexier than Scarlett Johansson.

Oct 26, 07 - 08:43 am Comment from: Jesse Jackson

@hmmmmm

The title should read, "Who's a fucking moron . . . hmmmmm?"

Oct 26, 07 - 08:44 am Comment from: Hoobooo

Halle Berry has a white mother and black father so which race is she? Bringing race into it is a stretch...

Oct 26, 07 - 08:47 am Comment from: hmmmm

and the answer is:
Jesse Jackson.

so, i believe you're in that camp

Oct 26, 07 - 09:04 am Comment from: Cubert

The iPhone will surpass Scarlett in these polls with version 2 that will include a glory hole.

Oct 26, 07 - 09:04 am Comment from: @ GurgleAndWank

I'd say Shoeman/MDN User/GurgleAndWank/whatever is sexiest of all... like Kissinger said, stupidity is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Oct 26, 07 - 09:11 am Comment from: TowerTone

Scarlett, on my iPhone. Literally.
Sitting on it.
While I am using it.
(camera mode)

MW:control, as in 'not likely'

Oct 26, 07 - 09:17 am Comment from: Dude

Kate Beckinsale or the iPhone, now that would be a tough call!

Oct 26, 07 - 09:38 am Comment from: Chris ][

Multi-touch.

Oct 26, 07 - 09:47 am Comment from: M.X.N.T.4.1

A direct comparison is unfair. Personally if you take Scarlett Johansson and measure her sexiness in comparison to all the other humans and the iPhone and compare it to other phones, I think the iPhone comes off better. There are far more options when it comes to humans. That said, you stand a chance of getting an iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 09:53 am Comment from: Bilbo

I heard that Scarlett Johansson was touch sensitive...

Oct 26, 07 - 10:15 am Comment from: Believe It

>The holy grail...ScarlettJ on my iPhone.

Next logical step - ScarlettJ vibrating on my iPhone.

Oct 26, 07 - 11:50 am Comment from: Liquor Cerebrospinalis

Make sure that any celebs that are meth. addicts are put on speed dial.

Oct 26, 07 - 11:55 am Comment from: Martin

@ Mike

or the iPhone ... never mind.

Oct 26, 07 - 01:56 pm Comment from: Woody

@ Doc... Scarlet Johannson getting felt up by Isaac Mizrahi... Yeah, that's gonna happen.

Oct 26, 07 - 03:20 pm Comment from: MACanadian

Guys,

Its like comparing Apples with Melons...

Oct 26, 07 - 05:24 pm Comment from: yet another steve via iPodDailyNews

brilliant!

Oct 27, 07 - 09:46 am Comment from: MacSheikh

Scarlet Johannson/Halle Barry/Jessica Alba...with iPhone...multi-touch...two finger operation...i think i should stop right here.

Mmmmmmm...

Oct 28, 07 - 10:35 am Comment from: Tommy Boy

At least my iPhone doesn't smell like a chimney.

Mar 06, 08 - 07:33 am Comment from: berrytree

I agree with MacSheikh.

I would prefer my iphone on scarlet.
