Apple tries to market the IPOD to extraterestrials

27 March, 2006 11:46

Alright, this whole IPOD thing is getting a little absurd. The whole idea was exciting and interesting when the IPOD first appeared on the market. Each new generation of the device excited me also.

Now, however, I am getting a little sick of the whole buzz around, and what is becoming, a cult of sorts. I don't mean to be so harsh, but I can't make it through a day without hearing or seeing something related to the media player.

So seeing this post on Gizmodo, I am hung in disbelief. Most people will find the idea of seeing the Apple fuzz from the depths of space interesting, but the idea in its entire sense makes me rather tired, and unimpressed. In fact, it somewhat angers me.

This is a candidate for the Bullshit tag. Thumbs down to your use of resources and marketing tactics Apple. I hope the aliens don't take a look, and fly the other way.
