seen: dietary recommendation

the iPod shuffle, pictured at apple.comSeen as a postscript on the Web page for the new iPod shuffle:

Do not eat iPod shuffle.

(Near the top of the page, the new iPod is pictured next to two packages of chewing gum.)

Also funny: The super-enthusiastic “even though shuffle is a feature that’s been around for at least a decade (with CDs), it’s the coolest thing ever and will change your life” marketing copy for the new Apple product.

Time to mix things up. Meet iPod shuffle, the unpredictable new iPod. What will it play next? Can it read your mind? Can it read your moods? Load it up. Put it on. See where it takes you.

That said, I do think the new iPod is pretty nifty — great for exercise, when you don’t need your whole music library and you need a player that can take more abuse than the full-size hard drive-based iPod.

What is this “exercise” you speak of?

Someone ate his iPod shuffle … and wrote a poem about it.
