The Street spells it out in simple chapter and verse today: scoring tail is our bottom line, and you can do this, via the iPhone. Who did they enlist to test out this theory? Why it's "Street Dot Com Staff Writer" Cliff Mason, who they don't tell you is also Jim Cramer's nephew. It wasn't that nepotism is the name of the game at TS.com, but that Cliff was quite obviously the perfect candidate to prove that no matter how seemingly dorky, inept vis-à-vis the ladies (the exchanges with Farnoosh Torabi, "Street.com correspondent" are particularly revealing) and Cramer-brand smug you are, with the iPhone in hand, you will attract the opposite sex, no questions asked.
Other reasons Cliff bought the mobile? Well, first of all, he "wasn't doing anything" at the time and he "has money to burn," which is why he "really didn't think about it too much." What about switching plans, did that pose any problems or headaches? Nah. Cliff was on Verizon but he really didn't think twice about switching over to an AT&T contract. His dad, Mr. Mason one presumes, is still paying for the Verizon one.

I think Cliff Mason should be the next "guest" on Will It Blend?

That kid looks like a fat, balding, pasty-faced douchebag. The sides of his face look dirty...or are those sideburns? And what kind of name is "Farnoosh"? WTF?!

Dealbreaker should do a new poll - what does the sound of "farnoosh" remind you of?
Posted by JO , Jul 12, 2007 11:27PM
For the record I don't think the 'Noosh is half bad. And let's face it, there's no other (legal) way Cliff is getting laid

Well done, JO. Plus, she acquitted herself nicely given the difficult circumstances.

Just a note to say that the "cramer" poster above is Not Cramer.. I am Cramer, and of course I would have been tougher and more eloquent. And the idea that Cliff is not mentioned at my nephew. give me a break, in the Cramer-Mason Chronicles--maybe i will do another today--i will fromnow on make him call me "Uncle Jim."

Not to sound ineloquent but farnoosh is hot.

how much coolness per share do you think aapl is going to earn in 2007?
Posted by Pat , Jul 15, 2007 9:57AM
That kid is trying to make it.. But I think Jim is killing thestreet.com with this guy...
He should give him a management job.. not more.
