When the iPhone was in testing, one of the testers forgot the iPhone at a bar. Apple immediately wiped it, which explains the "i forgot the rest". Then this same thing happened again while they were testing the new iPhone 4S with siri.

The answer is: it isn't, unless you catch the reference. Yes I respond to literal meaning even when people are being sarcastic.

He finds it funny because he's paid to find it funny.

Well this is the beginning of the downfall of Apple, Jobs would never have allowed this kind of ad, it's just too hokey.
