The iPoor Helps Fight Poverty in a Very Funny Way

[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]

The iPoor has been dubbed the real iPhone killer. Created by Steve Nojobs, the iPoor is destined to appeal to all of those folks that couldn't spring a few hundred bills for the iPhone.

The iPhone looks like a toy, really. It's got four huge buttons and an easily-breakable plastic shell. And you can't really call anybody, either.

Is this a joke? Why yes, it is! All in the name of fighting poverty. As a way to raise money for a handful of non-profit organizations looking to help in the battle against poverty, the iPoor is generating enough attention to forward some of that along to raising awareness. Participating organizations include Care.org, thehungersite and kiva.

In case you're wondering, the iPoor (not its real name) is a toy created by Vtech. Buy one on Amazon for about $9. Need more parodies related to Apple's favorite Jobs? Check out the Fake Steve blog, written by the now-unveiled Daniel Lyons. If you're tired of the parody crap and want to support non-profits, try CareBadges or Change.org.
